RIOT/tests/pkg/arduino_sdi_12

The purpose of this test program is to verify that the arduino_sdi_12 package works.

To test it you will need a SDI-12 sensor. The SDI-12 protocol uses 3 wires: power, ground, and data. Use the D13 pin for the data line.

The program will loop forever. In every loop it:

• Tries to find the address of the attached sensor (sends the ?! command);
• Asks the sensor to identify itself (sends the aI! command);
• Asks the sensor to start a measurement (sends the aM! command);
• Waits for as many seconds as the sensor said in its response to the measurement command;
• Asks the sensor for the data, the result of the measurement (sends the aD0! command);
• Waits 5 seconds and starts the loop again.

This is an example, with the Arduino Mega2560 board and the Decagon CTD-10 sensor:

$ BOARD=arduino-mega2560 make -C tests/pkg/arduino_sdi_12 all flash term
