[wxsig] Humidity and Pressure Sensor Support

[William Beals]

John:

Is the issue that you can't discover the sensor during the setup phase?  If
so, that means that the T238 is not able to see the device ID of the
humidity sensor on the 1-wire network.  That is a different problem compared
than the calibration issues.

If the device is not showing up, do check the 1-wire bus voltage on the
debug screen, that will confirm/deny the bus is healthy.  If healthy, try
some simple stuff like short cables on your bench (if not already so).

Can someone has the TAI8570 pressure sensor working with the T238 and
original Dallas wind sensor (wind dir/speed) and rain gauge please email me
how they did it.

I've upgraded my T238 to 1.15.8R firmware but it doesn't detect the TAI8570.

Thanks.
