💅 sht15_transmission_start(9) — Kernel API Manual ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the group chat 💖 you're looking at the manual page for sht15_transmission_start, straight out of the Kernel API Manual. yes, kernel API. we're fancy here. 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

sht15_transmission_start — the specific sequence you run to kick off a brand new transmission 🚀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

int sht15_transmission_start (struct sht15_data *data );

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • data — the device state data. it's giving "everything you need to know about this sensor," and honestly? iconic. 👑

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so here's the tea ☕ — the timings for this whole thing are not documented on the data sheet. not a single one. so the implementation just went with very conservative timings instead. no cap, that's the whole strategy. safe > sorry. 💅

and what this actually implements is figure 12 on the data sheet. literally figure 12. that's the vibe check it's passing. 📖✨

lowkey obsessed with the fact that "we don't know the timings so we just went super cautious" is a real documented engineering decision. main character energy fr fr. 😭

🔥 SEE ALSO 🔥

bestie, they're all here, the whole friend group 🫶 first up, the kernel file:

  • ./drivers/hwmon/sht15.c

and then the squad, alphabetically-unhinged as always:

and that's the page!! 🎀 it lives over in ./drivers/hwmon, dated October 2026, and it's titled sht15_transmission_start(9) in case you forgot already (no shade, it happens). drink some water, go read some kernel source, ily 💜🌈✨
