Analog / Digital Sensor Adapter for LEGO EV3 (STM8 Version)

As is well known, common analog/digital sensors cannot communicate directly with the LEGO EV3. Therefore, we use a MCU to convert sensor data and information into LEGO UART format and then transmit the information to the EV3 host via the LEGO UART Protocol.
