I'm have a very hard time implementing the Seesaw I2C soil sensor in Node-Red.
What I've done so far:
1. Added the i2c bus to Node-Red on my Raspberry Pi.
2. Used a standard Semma connector (I had to trim the plastic off of one to fit the sensor).
3. The i2c scan recognizes my sensor as address 54 (0x36).
4. Using command 4 to read temperature (into a 4 byte buf), I read 255s (all FFs).
5. Using command 16 to read moisture (into a 2 byte buf)). I read all 255s (all FFs).
What could I be doing wrong? I'm at my wits end with this.
Regards, Bill

Re: Implementing Seesaw I2C soil sensor
Hi there,
I noticed your ?...I am having the same challenge. I could not get the i2c interface to work w/ the Seesaw moisture sensor. BUT I was able to use the exec node to execute a simple python script that used the Blinka stuff on Rasp Pi.
