Ok so this is the manual page for mpl115a, and yes the manual name is right there in the title because we're doing this properly 💖

🌸 NAME 🌸

mpl115a — the driver for the Freescale MPL115A2 absolute pressure sensor, no cap

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mpl115a* at iic? addr 0x60

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so the mpl115a driver provides support for the MPL115A2 pressure sensor. It lets you report absolute pressure through the envsys(4) API. That's the whole vibe: sensor support, pressure reporting, slay ✨

🎀 SEE ALSO 🎀

• envsys(4) — the API mentioned above, iykyk

⭐ HISTORY ⭐

The mpl115a device first appeared in NetBSD 7.0. Vintage behavior, honestly 👑

👑 AUTHORS 👑

The mpl115a driver was written by Radoslaw Kujawa <radoslaw.kujawa@gmail.com>. The fixed-point pressure calculation algorithm was suggested by Matt Thomas. We love credited contributors 🫶

💀 CAVEATS 💀

The MPL115A2 chip has an accuracy of +/- 1 kPa, which makes it not very useful for weather-related applications. So like… don't plan your picnic based on this sensor, bestie 😭

The envsys(4) API does not support pressure reporting yet, so the result is reported just as integer number. That's the current situation, fr fr.
