This module provides access to the [AM2320](https://akizukidenshi.com/download/ds/aosong/AM2320.pdf) humidity and temperature sensor, using the i2c interface.

## am2320.read()
Samples the sensor and returns the relative humidity in % and temperature in celsius, as an integer multiplied with 10.

#### Syntax
`am2320.read()`

#### Returns
- `relative humidity` percentage multiplied with 10 (integer)
- `temperature` in celcius multiplied with 10 (integer)

#### Example
```lua
sda, scl = 1, 2
i2c.setup(0, sda, scl, i2c.SLOW) -- call i2c.setup() only once
am2320.setup()
rh, t = am2320.read()
print(string.format("RH: %s%%", rh / 10))
print(string.format("Temperature: %s degrees C", t / 10))
```

## am2320.setup()
Initializes the module. Returns model, version, serial but is seams these where all zero on my model.

#### Syntax
`model, version, serial = am2320.setup()`

#### Parameters
None

#### Returns
- `model`  16 bits number of model
- `version`  8 bits version number
- `serial`  32 bits serial number

   Note: I have only observed values of 0 for all of these, maybe other sensors return more sensible readings.
