Figure 1-7 does not match Table 1-1

Note from the Author or Editor:
The table should be changed to match the image, GND 6.

Any of the GND pins 6, 14 or 20 will work the same way, though.

Note from the Author or Editor:

"on the backside of the box we made a pattern of small holes. Without those, air would be able to get to the sensor."

I assume the last part should read:
Without those, air would NOT be able to get to the sensor.
