risk. Both pressure and temperature values are expected to be received in 20 bit format,
positive, stored in a 32 bit signed integer.
The variable t_fine (signed 32 bit) carries a fine resolution temperature value over to the
pressure compensation formula and could be implemented as a global variable.

Compensating the pressure value with 32 bit integer has an accuracy of typically 1 Pa (1-
sigma). At high filter levels this adds a significant amount of noise to the output values and
reduces their resolution.
