Multiple mode Environmental Sensor Deck with MKR1000

Many fun environmental sensors need a hardware interrupt. With the MKR1000, you no longer need to choose! You get I2C, analog ins too!

Schematics

Sensor Deck schematic

I'm too new to Fritzing, and couldn't find many parts in the library, so I made this mock-up instead.

Code

The entire monitoring sketch

Arduino
There are many sensors reporting in this sketch, and the libraries are working well together. However, the classic interrupt-locking methods in AVR-libc have been removed in the recent versions of the Arduino IDE, which has disabled the libraries for NeoPixel and for the Lightning sensor. I expect that this will be resolved this year sometime, but it means that I've left them out of the final sketch.
/* RTC-Weather-Sensors_v6_MKR1000   by Zonker Harris   Spring 2016
 *  Hooray! A small board, with more than 2 hardware interrupts! 
 *  Plus WiFi, *and* crypto (VERY necessary for IoT applications!)
 *  
 * Note to newer hackers:  I put MANY comments in my code, as you see.
 *  When you click upload, *comments are IGNORED*, and do not eat memory!
 *  I recommend that you also add plenty of comments when you make changes
 *  and additions, to help you remember WHY you did what you did months ago.
 *  They will also help those who come after you, to learn a thing or two.
 *  
 * Now, libraries *DO* count against your program memory...

/* The BMP085_U driver uses the Adafruit unified sensor library (Adafruit_Sensor),
   which provides a common 'type' for sensor data and some helper functions.
   (The BMP180 is comptible with this library, and gives the same output, but
    the library will identify the BMP180 as a BMP085.)
   
   To use this driver you will also need to download the Adafruit_Sensor
   library and include it in your libraries folder.

   You should also assign a unique ID to this sensor for use with
   the Adafruit Sensor API so that you can identify this particular
   sensor in any data logs, etc.  To assign a unique ID, simply
   provide an appropriate value in the constructor below (12345
   is used by default in this example).  */

Taking an Average Analog Reading

Arduino
This was a clever hack I found in the SparkFun library for the ML8511 UV Sensor, but I'm calling it out specifically, since you can use it for any analog read! If you ever meet Nathan Seidl, please buy him a beer (it's a Beerware license.)
//Takes an average of readings on a given pin
//Returns the average
int averageAnalogRead(int pinToRead)
{
  byte numberOfReadings = 8;
  unsigned int runningValue = 0; 

  for(int x = 0 ; x < numberOfReadings ; x++)
    runningValue += analogRead(pinToRead);
  runningValue /= numberOfReadings;

  return(runningValue);  
}

I2C bus scanner

Arduino
If you don't know the base address for your i2c devices, use this to scan the range of valid addresses. It knows about the sensors that I've been working with. You can add sections for your other sensors.

// i2c_scanner
//
//   Found at http://playground.arduino.cc/Main/I2cScanner?action=sourceblock&num=1
//     26 OCT 2015
//
// Version 1
//    This program (or code that looks like it)
//    can be found in many places.
//    For example on the Arduino.cc forum.
//    The original author is not know.
// Version 2, Juni 2012, Using Arduino 1.0.1
//     Adapted to be as simple as possible by Arduino.cc user Krodal
// Version 3, Feb 26  2013
//    V3 by louarnold
// Version 4, March 3, 2013, Using Arduino 1.0.3
//    by Arduino.cc user Krodal.
//    Changes by louarnold removed.
//    Scanning addresses changed from 0...127 to 1...119,
//    according to the i2c scanner by Nick Gammon
//    http://www.gammon.com.au/forum/?id=10896
// Version 5, March 28, 2013
//    As version 4, but address scans now to 127.
//    A sensor seems to use address 120.
//
// This sketch tests the standard 7-bit addresses
// Devices with higher bit address might not be seen properly.

ML8511 Demo Code

Arduino
Modified for use with a 3.3v-native CPU (for DAC reference units).
/* 
 *  From  https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/ml8511-uv-sensor-hookup-guide 19 MAR 2016

 ML8511 UV Sensor Read Example
 By: Nathan Seidle
 SparkFun Electronics
 Date: January 15th, 2014
 License: This code is public domain but you buy me a beer if you use this and we meet someday (Beerware license).
 
 The ML8511 UV Sensor outputs an analog signal in relation to the amount of UV light it detects.
 
 Connect the following ML8511 breakout board to Arduino:
 3.3V = 3.3V
 OUT = A1
 GND = GND
 EN = 3.3V
 
 * The Sparkfun demo presumes 5v VCC, but the MKR1000 is 3.3v native.
 * Because of this, the second reference voltage value will always be "1023".
 * As a result of testing, I cut that part out...  -Z-
 
 Test your sensor by shining daylight or a UV LED: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/8662

 This sensor detects 280-390nm light most effectively. This is categorized as part of the 
 UVB (burning rays) spectrum and most of the UVA (tanning rays) spectrum.
 
 There's lots of good UV radiation reading out there:
