Summary
WIP code for fixed-math data type for sensors.
All sensor math operations will require modification to use
sensor_data_xxxmacros.At the moment, no sensor is modified to handle this properly. I'll probably choose the easiest sensor to port with a small amount of math operations to provide PoC.
EDIT: ported
bmp280_uorbto fixed-math, probably the easiest one :)Ultimately, all sensor units must be checked to see if the data unit make sense for the b16_t type.
Doing this work all at once is a lot of work which I don't want to do, so I suggest introducing this change gradually:
depends on SENSORS_USE_FLOATImpact
