Example 4 - Combined Soil Moisture Sensor Basic Readings and Qwiic OLED (0.91", 128x32)
This example reads the "moisture" levels from the Soil Moisture Sensor. The moisture
levels are the ADC values read by the little microcontroller on the sensor and these values
are gathered from the legs. The sensor readings can be read in the Arduino Serial Monitor
(115200 baud) or the Qwiic OLED. This code was written specifically for the 0.91", 128x32 verison.
Based on code written by NOA labs
