Sw xtr 44: VegaPuls C21 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.

Required Materials

- 1 Waspmote Plug & Sense! Smart Water Xtreme - 1 VegaPuls sensor

Notes

- This example is only valid for Waspmote v15

  SELECT THE RIGHT SOCKET FOR EACH SENSOR.

  Possible sockets for this sensor are:
  - XTR_SOCKET_A       _________
  - XTR_SOCKET_B      |---------|
  - XTR_SOCKET_C      | A  B  C |

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