Base class for all sensors. Can only be instantiated through the use of an :py:class:`~easygopigo3.EasyGoPiGo3` object.
It *should* only be used as a base class for any type of sensor. Since it contains methods for setting / getting the ports or the pinmode,
it's basically useless unless a derived class comes in and adds functionalities.
:var str port: There're 4 types of ports - analog, digital, I2C and serial ports. The string identifiers are mapped in the following graphical representation - :ref:`hardware-ports-section`.
:var str pinmode: Represents the mode of operation of a pin - can be a digital input/output, an analog input/output or even a custom mode which must defined in the `GoPiGo3`_'s firmware.
:var int pin: Each grove connector has 4 pins: GND, VCC and 2 signal pins that can be user-defined. This variable specifies which pin of these 2 signal pins is used.
:var int portID: Depending on ``ports``'s value, an ID is given to each port. This variable is not important to us.
:var str descriptor: Represents the "informal" string representation of an instantiated object of this class.
