πŸ’– ARGUMENTS πŸ’–

  • fe β€” the frontend you're attaching to. she's the main character here, everything else is just supporting cast 🫢
  • pll_addr β€” the i2c address of the PLL, if it's used. it's an int, so, y'know, respect πŸ¦‹
  • i2c β€” the i2c adapter to use. highkey important: set it to NULL if it's not used, fr fr πŸ™ˆ
