Unfortunately two of the temperatures are stored in variables also
used for the voltage inputs, which are unsigned when being used for
that function.  Should these variables be a union of an s8 and a u8?

In fact, I may be missing something obvious, but why does the code
maintain all these variables and read all the chip registers every time
any value is read?  Wouldn't it be more efficient to just read the
register that was actually requested?

Thanks,
