Arduino core sketch

This sketch uses interrupts to read pulses from pluviometers (or any sensor equipped with reed switches). The board enters sleep mode when not reading a sensor or sending data: sleep modes allow a significant drop in the power usage of a board while it does nothing waiting for an event to happen (thus enhancing battery life significantly).

The internal RTC will wake up the processor every 10 minutes (at 00:00, 10:00, 20:00, etc). Absolute time is kept using an DS3231 RTC. When the processor is woken up, it sends the data collected during those 10 minutes to SigFox.

Please NOTE that, if the processor is sleeping, a new sketch can't be uploaded. To overcome this, manually reset the board (usually with a single or double tap to the RESET button). On the Arduino MKR Fox 1200 (and others in the MKR family?) you have to press the reset button for a couple of second, release and press it again quickly and briefly. An orange led should turn on, allowing to upload the sketch.
