Add Bindings for Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor OR Adafruit Seesaw #559

Closed andersonimes closed 1 year ago

andersonimes commented 5 years ago

I'm trying to use a Adafruit STEMMA Soil Sensor - I2C Capacitive Moisture Sensor to create a garden soil monitor. I2C interfaces are a bit over my head and a helper binding would be great. Adafruit has this specific sensor package, but the combination is supported by the slightly more generic Seesaw library that they have created (I think that's what I'm reading). Porting either of those over would be pretty helpful.

I would like to have a look at this.... I think that in reality if a seesaw binding is created then reading the soil sensor is a fairly minor exercise. I will need a little time to source the seesaw breakout so please give me a week or two.

Please see PR #648 This should allow you to use the soil sensor as below assuming that you connect it to I2C bus 1 ...

const byte Adafruit_Seesaw_SoilSensor_I2cAddress = 0x36;
const byte Adafruit_Seesaw_SoilSensor_I2cBus = 0x1;

using (I2cDevice i2cDevice = I2cDevice.Create(new I2cConnectionSettings(Adafruit_Seesaw_SoilSensor_I2cBus, Adafruit_Seesaw_SoilSensor_I2cAddress)))
using(Seesaw ssDevice = new Seesaw(i2cDevice))
{
    while(true)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Temperature: {ssDevice.GetTemperature()}'C");
        Console.WriteLine($"Capacitive: {ssDevice.TouchRead(0)}");
        ssDevice.SetGpioPinMode(1, PinMode.Output);
        System.Threading.Tasks.Task.Delay(1000).Wait();
    }
}

[Triage] This is partially addressed already, we're also not tracking binding requests anymore. Please send PR. If there is anything to discuss here please reopen
