temperature offset is not used for the compensation of pressure #29

Closed RobTillaart closed 2 years ago

RobTillaart commented 2 years ago

Current implementation only uses the offset for getTemperature() Need to investigate if pressure compensation can be "fixed" too.

rethink

The purpose of the temperature sensor is primarily to compensate the pressure sensor for the heat it feels. It is not meant to be an ambient sensor. The pressure sensor does not know what causes the heat up, but need to be compensated for it.

So it is correct that the offset is not used to "scale" the temperature before it is used to compensate the pressure.
