touchRead hangs when reading STEMMA soil sensor with ESP32 DEVKIT V1 about adafruit_seesaw

thanks for the note, please submit a PR with a long enough delay for the ESP32 and we'll make sure it works on other boards too :)

ok try 1.4.1 please!

Arduino board: HUZZAH32
Arduino IDE version: 1.8.13

I was having a similar issue with my board, although the capacitance value that was returned was seemingly random and extremely high (ranging from 30,000-60,000) even though the temperature was correct. I tried with versions 1.4.3, 1.4.2, 1.4.1, 1.4.0 with the same result. When I used Jim's code as posted in the most recent comment on the forum, the capacitance was returning normal values.
Thank you so much Jim, this problem has been giving me a ton of trouble on my project!

Retried ESP32 test of SoilSensor using Seesaw 1.4.3 and it worked....thanks for fixing. I liked your implementation better! Potential hang issue resolved when reading, and potential hang for hardware failure on sensor resolved too :-).

In my test I was getting readings from ~320 to ~ 1010. When power removed from sensor, got 65535.
Thanks for fixing......jimf
