These coefficients are used to internally calibrate the signals from the +sensors. Disabling the reload of those coefficients allows saving 10ms for each +measurement and decrease power consumption, while loosing on precision. + +Some options may be set directly in the sht15_platform_data structure +or via sysfs attributes. + +Notes: + * The regulator supply name is set to "vcc". + * If a CRC validation fails, a soft reset command is sent, which resets + status register to its hardware default value, but the driver will try to + restore the previous device configuration. + +Platform data +------------- + +* checksum: + set it to true to enable CRC validation of the readings (default to false). +* no_otp_reload: + flag to indicate not to reload from OTP (default to false). +* low_resolution: + flag to indicate the temp/humidity resolution to use (default to false). + +Sysfs interface +--------------- + +* temp1_input: temperature input +* humidity1_input: humidity input +* heater_enable: write 1 in this attribute to enable the on-chip heater, + 0 to disable it. Be careful not to enable the heater + for too long. +* temp1_fault: if 1, this means that the voltage is low (below 2.47V) and + measurement may be invalid. +* humidity1_fault: same as temp1_fault. |
