COMMANDS
The MS5837 has only five basic commands:
1. Reset
2. Read PROM (112 bit of calibration words)
3. D1 conversion
4. D2 conversion
5. Read ADC result (24 bit pressure / temperature)
Each I

C communication message starts with the start condition and it is ended with the stop condition. The MS5837
address is 1110110x (write: x=0, read: x=1).
Size of each command is 1 byte (8 bits) as described in the table below. After ADC read commands, the device will
return 24 bit result and after the PROM read 16 bit results. The address of the PROM is embedded inside of the
PROM read command using the a2, a1 and a0 bits.
