✨ ms_sensors_convert_and_read(9) ✨

okay bestie, this is a page from the Kernel API Manual — yes, we're in kernel land, and yes, you're gonna slay it 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

ms_sensors_convert_and_read — the ADC conversion & read function, aka the little icon that does the convert-then-read combo for you 🎀

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

int ms_sensors_convert_and_read (void *cli , u8 conv , u8 rd , unsigned
int delay , u32 *adc );

---

💖 ARGUMENTS 💖

• cli — pointer to device client. literally the "who am I talking to" pointer 🫶
• conv — ADC conversion command. this one depends on the device in use, so no cap, check your device 😌
• rd — ADC read command. also depends on the device in use, iykyk ⭐
• delay — the usleep minimal delay after the conversion command is issued. give it a sec to breathe 💤
• adc — pointer to the ADC destination value. this is where the good stuff lands 🍓

---

🔥 DESCRIPTION 🔥

so this is the generic ADC conversion & read function for Measurement Specialties devices, and the way it works is honestly so clean:

1. it issues the conversion command ✨
2. it sleeps the appropriate delay 💤
3. it issues the command to read the ADC 👑

three steps, no drama, main character energy fr fr 💜

---

🌈 RETURN 🌈

0 on success, negative errno otherwise. so if you get anything negative, that's your vibe check failing bestie 😭
