feat: new method to get object tempature in Fahrenheit as `Result<u16, Error<E>>`. #5

Closed antonio-hickey closed 1 year ago

antonio-hickey commented 1 year ago

I've been trying all types of hacky ways to get my microcontroller (arduino uno r3) to support any type of calculation with the value returned from object1_temperature() (yes I unwrapped the result), but running on bare metal makes it really annoying to use floats. I can't even print out the value, so I would like to add 2 new methods to Mlx90614 for pulling object1 & object2 temperature in Fahrenheit as Result<u16, Error<E>>. & 1 new method to Mlx90615 for pulling object temperature in Fahrenheit as well.

Probably better to just convert the value to Fahrenheit yourself after getting the value, now that we have methods to read temp values as integers I believe this not needed.
