ADT7420: High accuracy digital I2C temperature sensor
#####################################################

Description
***********

This sample application periodically (1Hz) measures the ambient temperature
in degrees Celsius. The result is written to the console.

When configured in trigger mode the update interval is 5 s, and the
sample maintains a |plusminus| 1 |deg| C window around a recent
temperature.  As soon as the temperature goes outside the window an
interrupt causes the application to display an event and update the
upper and lower window boundaries.

Wiring
*******

This sample uses the ADT7420 sensor controlled using the I2C interface.
Connect Supply: **VDD**, **GND** and Interface: **SDA**, **SCL**
and optionally connect the **INT** to a interrupt capable GPIO.
The supply voltage can be in the 2.7V to 5.5V range.
Depending on the baseboard used, the **SDA** and **SCL** lines require Pull-Up
resistors.

Building and Running
********************

This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires an ADT7420
sensor. It should work with any platform featuring a I2C peripheral interface.
It does not work on QEMU.
In this example below the :ref:`nrf52dk_nrf52832` board is used.
