Ag xtr 10: MPS6 sensor reading

Basic example that turns on, reads and turn off the sensor. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class variables and printed by the serial monitor. Note: The Meter TEROS 21 sensor was previously named as Decagon MPS-6

Required Materials

- 1 Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture Xtreme - 1 TEROS 21 sensor

Notes

- This example is only valid for Waspmote v15

    ----------- [Ag_xtr_10] - MPS6 sensor reading --------------------

    Explanation: Basic example that turns on, reads and turn off the
    sensor. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class
    variables and printed by the serial monitor.

    Note: The Meter TEROS 21 sensor was previously named as Decagon MPS-6

    Measured parameters:
      - Soil water potential
      - Soil temperature
