Classes

class SDI12
The main class for SDI 12 instances.

Enums

enum LookaheadMode { SKIP_ALL, SKIP_NONE, SKIP_WHITESPACE }
This enumeration provides the lookahead options for parseInt(), parseFloat().

Typedefs

using FlashString = const __FlashStringHelper*
Helper for strings stored in flash.

Defines

#define NO_IGNORE_CHAR = '\x01'
a char not found in a valid ASCII numeric field
#define SDI12_WAKE_DELAY = 0
The amount of additional time in milliseconds that the sensor takes to wake before being ready to receive a command. Default is 0ms - meaning the sensor is ready for a command by the end of the 12ms break. Per protocol, the wake time must be less than 100 ms.
#define SDI12_BUFFER_SIZE = 81
The buffer size for incoming SDI-12 data.
#define READTIME = sdi12timer.SDI12TimerRead()
The function or macro used to read the clock timer value.

Enum documentation

enum LookaheadMode

This enumeration provides the lookahead options for parseInt(), parseFloat().

The rules set out here are used until either the first valid character is found or a time out occurs due to lack of input.

This enum is part of the Stream parent class, but is missing from the ESP8266 and ESP32 cores.

Enumerators
SKIP_ALL

All invalid characters are ignored.

SKIP_NONE

Nothing is skipped, and the stream is not touched unless the first waiting character is valid.

SKIP_WHITESPACE

Only tabs, spaces, line feeds & carriage returns are skipped.


Define documentation

#define SDI12_BUFFER_SIZE = 81

The buffer size for incoming SDI-12 data.

All responses should be less than 81 characters:

  • address is a single (1) character
  • values has a maximum value of 75 characters
  • CRC is 3 characters
  • CR is a single character
  • LF is a single character

#define READTIME = sdi12timer.SDI12TimerRead()

The function or macro used to read the clock timer value.
