Hi. First id like to thank you for putting your time on creating this useful library. I am using an arduino mega and MPS20N0040D sensor and it works just fine, until the pressure gets up to 16777215 and it just stops and cant get any higher, i assume it is because of limit of 3 bytes return in .read() function, i really need to show more pressure than that but the accuracy is not that much important for me. Could you please help me?

im not sure i understand your question. if accuracy is not important you could try increasing the value of set_scale by a factor of 10, 100, 1000 ... and then use get_units()
