v0.8.0

New features

• Support inverted data levels
• Control on debug print
• Removal of data echo on line
• Return to break level after data retrieval

Fixes

• better handle hidden characters in message

v0.7.2

Fixes

• fixed timeout calculation using ticks_add and ticks_diff

v0.7.1

Fixes

• fixed UART parity from invalid value 2 to 0 to force EVEN parity

v0.7.0

Enhancements

• added option to modify pin value per direction when dual diraction pins are setup
• deprecation of number_of_measurements_digit_count parameter , it is now calculated from the response

v0.6.1

New Features

• support force_wait_period in get_measurements

Enhancements

• minor visual changes in README file

v0.6.0

Enhancements

• updated get_sensor_info function to extract info based on SDI12 specs
  • important change: model which is the second returned value in the tuple now holds only the actual 6 characters that describe the model
• added function get_sensor_info that provides the complete response of aI! command splitted based on SDI12 specs

v0.5.0

New feature

• Support digit count parameter for start measurement command

v0.4.1

New Feature:

• Expose internal _send function + document it in README
• Enhance _send function to make timeout and termination condition configurable (important when waiting for specific sensor service request)

v0.4

New Features:

• ESP32 support. Made changes due to the different initialization parameter names of the UART and the different usage of Pin contol while using UART.
• added funtion 'set_wait_after_uart_write' to be able to enable/disable the sleep command after a UART write.
  • For micropython implementations that uart.write calls uart_wait_tx_done, this sleep can be deactivated
• added function 'set_timing_params' to be able to set wait duration for each character (default: 8333us). Mainly affects the timing of direction change for RS485

Bug fix:

• in 'get_measurement' proerly read the seconds to wait for the measurement to be ready.
• add safetly guard when requesting for additional sensor data in case the sensor mulfunctions to avoid infinite while loop.

v0.3

New feature:

• Support configurable query name in get_measurement function.
