Resolution = Precision ?

[dusscloud]

In order to change sensor resolution, the documentation refers to
sensor.set_resolution() (Python case)
w1thermsensor --resolution (CLI case)

But it does not work : the rights syntax seems to be
sensor.set_precision() (Python case)
w1thermsensor --precision (CLI case)

Side note : root is required for such resolution change, I think this may be written in the doc also.

Depending on the version of w1thermsensor that's true.

The precision phrasing was changed to resolution in: 3e91314.

You can use 1.3.0 from PyPI to have to change. (might be the case that an older version is deployed in rasbian apt sources)

Yes, good catch! I've added this in: 519010e
