Hello,

I'm trying to develop a project with the INA233 but I don't see any reference to this chip in your readme. Is posibble to use this libraryto work with the INA233? Link: https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/sbos790/sbos790.pdf?ts=1613385086672&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

The INA233 uses SMBUS rather than the I2C register format for data exchange; while technically it is possible to integrate the INA233 into the library it would be a bit of work, plus the INA233 has features that the other INA devices don't have. Thus it would be better to have a separate library for this chip rather than integrate it into the existing one.
