Do we actually need the cast here? char * is like void * and should not need it.

I don't think it is possible to return anything other than 3 or error.
In other words, short read without error is not possible.

This is a bit dense making it hard to read.

Also, it's always helpful to include units in variable names. wait_time_us?
data_rate_hz?
