But the 3rd decimal place was only added "recently" by: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ r5877 | khali | 2010-11-03 12:59:55 +0100 (mer. 03 nov. 2010) | 6 lignes sensors: Display 3 decimal places in raw output. This will make it easier for us to help users find out correct scaling factors when needed. Instead of telling them to go read the raw sysfs attributes, they can just report the output of "sensors -u -c /dev/null". ------------------------------------------------------------------------ so you'd need lm-sensors version >= 3.3.0. > # sensors --help | grep -- -u > -u Raw output (debugging only) > # cat /sys/bus/i2c/devices/2-004a/in?_input > 699 > 696 > 692 > > > Note that you have a wrong factor in the second half > > Thanks for catching.
