// supported by the platform.

// No I2C communication occurs here; setup() simply stores the pointer so that
// begin() and all register‑level operations know which bus to use.

//
// Performs initialization of the RAK12035 soil‑moisture sensor. This
// routine assumes that the application has already selected the I2C bus via
// setup() and that the bus has been initialized externally (Wire.begin()).
// It uses the passed in I2C Address (default 0x20)
//
// *** This code does not supprt three sensors ***
// The RAK12023 has three connectors, but each of the sensors attached must
// all have a different I2C addresses.
// This code has a function to set the I2C adress of a sensor
// and currently only supports one address 0x20 (the default).
// To support three sensors, EnvironmentSensorManager would need to be modified
// to support multiple instances of the RAK12035_SoilMoisture class,
// each with a different address. (0x20, 0x21, 0x22)
// The begin() function would need to be modified to loop through the three addresses

* Set Calibration values - This is done with custom a firmware version
*
* USE the Build Flag: -D ENABLE_RAK12035_CALIBRATION = 1
* OR
* Change the value to 1 in the RAK12035_SoilMoisture.h file
*
* Calibration Procedure:
* 1) Flash the the Calibration version of the firmware.
* 2) Leave the sensor dry, power up the device.
* 3) After detecting the RAK12035 this firmware will display calibration data on Channel 3
*
* Frequency = Current Capacitance Value
* Temperature = Current Wet calibration value
* Power = Current Dry calibration value
*
* 4) Click refresh several times. This will take a capacitance reading and if it is
* greater than the current Dry value it will store it in the sensor
* The value will bounce a little as you click refresh, but it eventually settles down (a few clicks)
* the stored value will stabalize at it's Maximum value.
*
* 5) Put the sensor in water.
*
* 6) Click refresh several times. This will take a capacitance reading and if it is
* less than the current Wet value it will store it in the sensor
* The value will bounce a little as you click refresh, but it eventually settles down (a few clicks)
* the stored value will stabalize at it's Minimum value.
*
* 7) The Sensor is now calibrated, turn off the device.
*
* 8) Reflash the device with the non-Calibration Firmware, Data will be shown on Channel 2
