Hello Rui, hello Sara, I have a comment on the example programmes in which measured values are displayed.
Why are there always two digits after the decimal point?
This reflects an accuracy that cannot be provided by the sensors at all. In most cases, the specification without a decimal point is completely sufficient. If, for example, a temperature sensor has an accuracy of 1% in the measuring range from 0°C to 100°C, which is already very good, it makes no sense to display a measured temperature of 23.45°C, for example.

Hi.
You are right.
Most examples provided by the sensor libraries will give you two decimal points. And we based our examples on that.
But, you’re right. You can change the code slightly to only show one or no decimal points at all if you want.
Thanks for pointing that out.
Regards,
Sara
