In the current version of sht15_calc_temp(), the interpolation that was done was being broken because of fixed point divisions that messed the things up. In fact, the temperatures returned so far were wrong. So after different tries on trying to improve the current function's precision, I ended up getting better results with a different approach with a proportional factor based linear interpolation. The manufacturer data remains valid, unchanged, and respected.
