Okay. I was close. If I want to change 00000001 to 00000010 I shift <<1. It's coming. Give me time.

I think I may have figured something out. Maybe. One of the registers I'm working with in a completely different project has a default value of 00000...

I have a buck converter to use instead of a voltage regulator. That should deal with ripple?

Any sizes of diodes and caps for me to start with?

@amanda The sketch wouldn't compile. I think it's looking for a void loop() J

@Amanda Ahh. More efficient use of the clock. Very good. I get it. Now I'll look into why the 6050 needs that shift to operate. Or does it?

@Amanda Thank you for taking your valuable time to respond. It's still as clear as mud. Let's say I understand the math involved... What is the pur...

@Amanda Thanks Mandy. The bit of code I stole borrowed from somewhere (electronoobs or jook brokking, I can't recall) is: Wire.beginTransmission(0x...

@jscottbee It turns out to be much easier than I thought. The 6050 outputs raw data natively. If it's at rest it reports zero(ish). Then depending o...

@Altoidian Maybe measure the resistance or current or other such thing on the plant itself. A probe in the soil and one an inch or three up the stalk...

@Altoidian. Just spitballin' but if there existed a semi-permeable membrane that would allow water to pass but not electrolytes and other dissolved so...

Thanks Scott, I was actually going to rig up something on my riding mower to test it. I found a great sketch at electronoobs. They had a lesson and...
