ModularSensors

This Arduino library gives environmental sensors a common interface of functions for use with Arduino-compatible dataloggers, such as the EnviroDIY Mayfly. The ModularSensors library is specifically designed to support wireless, solar-powered environmental data logging applications, that is, to:

• Retrieve data from many physical sensors;
• Save that data to a SD memory card;
• Transmit that data wirelessly to a web server; and
• Put the processor, sensors and all other peripherals to sleep between readings to conserve power.

The ModularSensors library coordinates these tasks by "wrapping" native sensor libraries into a common interface of functions and returns. These wrapper functions serve to harmonize and simplify the process of iterating through and logging data from a diverse set of sensors and variables.

Although this library was written primarily for the EnviroDIY Mayfly data logger board, it is also designed to be compatible with a variety of other Arduino-based boards as well.
