Many small embedded systems exist to collect data from sensors, analyse the data, and either take an appropriate action or send that sensor data to another system for processing.
One of the many challenges of embedded systems design is the fact that parts you used today may be out of production tommorow, or system requirements may change and you may need to choose a different sensor down the road.

Creating new drivers is a relatively easy task, but integrating them into existing systems is both error prone and time consuming since sensors rarely use the exact same units of measurement.

Any driver the supports the Adafruit unified sensor abstraction layer will implement the Adafruit\_Sensor base class. There are two main typedefs and one enum defined in Adafruit_Sensor.h that are used to 'abstract' away the sensor details and values:
