No worries. I think I'm down to 2 bugs with sashiko that I'll try to
quash, then I can move on to other stuff. Note that when it complains
about the temperature sensor and power management that's a false
positive. I tried to put a note there to give it a hint but it doesn't
seem to want to take it.

If I haven't communicated it previously, thank you again for your help
with this. I thought adding an accelerometer to my handheld would be
easy, but I do appreciate everything you and the other maintainers have
helped me with.
