Oops, this last one is of course not correct. This should read, for
example:

12-bit: ((temp * 2 +/- 62) / 125) << 4

So we might as well write the above:

 9-bit: (( temp       +/- 250) / 500) << 7
10-bit: (((temp << 1) +/- 250) / 500) << 6
11-bit: (((temp << 2) +/- 250) / 500) << 5
12-bit: (((temp << 3) +/- 250) / 500) << 4

which is easier to generalize.
