Ag xtr 26: 4-20mA example

Basic example that turns on, reads and turns off the 4-20mA interface. Measured parameters are stored in the corresponding class variables and printed by the serial monitor.

Required Materials

- 1 Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Agriculture Xtreme - 1 Terminal box probe - 1 Custom sensor with 4-20 mA interface

Notes

- This example is only valid for Waspmote v15

  SELECT THE RIGHT SOCKET FOR EACH SENSOR.

  Possible sockets for this sensor are:
  - XTR_SOCKET_B       _________
  - XTR_SOCKET_F      |---------|
                      | A  B  C |
                      |_D__E__F_|


  Example: a 5TM sensor on socket A will be
  [Sensor Class] [Sensor Name] [Selected socket]
  Decagon_5TM    mySensor      (XTR_SOCKET_A);

  Refer to the technical guide for information about possible combinations.
