[wxsig] Humidity and Pressure Sensor Support

[Aitor Arrieta]

Hi Will
Let me offer you our total help to include  our series of sensors to the 
T238. Our door is always open to developers that want to learn more about 
our devices and want to include it on their designs. Our TAI8540A humidity 
sensor is based on the DS2438 +HIH3610 so you shouldn't have any problem. 
The TAI8570 sensor uses two DS2406 to convert from 1-Wire to a special 
protocol needed by the presure sensor. The sensor is a jewel. It's a very 
precise unit and don't need an external power supply. All the needed power 
commes from the 1-wire bus.  Don't hesitate to contact me directly if you 
have any question or if you need anything from us.
Best Regards
Aitor Arrieta
