Looks much better indeed, thanks!

Could be used indeed. My concern is that fsleep uses a sleep range
between x and 2x but I don't think it is a problem since these are
oneshot captures.

I didn't even notice it, you are right.

I could use fsleep(). I didn't add a comment because also before it was
also like this. The code just used hardcoded (2000,2500) while I used
the data->start_up_time. It is mentioned in the datasheet, I could add it.

Since the previous values in the arrays are all in thousands, why should
I make this different?

The usleep here is for waiting for the sensor to make the conversion,
as the function name points out as well? Should I put it as a comment?

In general, is it considered good practice to add comments above all
sleep functions? I don't think it's a bad idea, I just didn't notice
it somewhere.
