+  Read the temperature pixels from the MLX90640 IR array
+  By: Nathan Seidle
+  SparkFun Electronics
+  Date: May 22nd, 2018
+  License: MIT. See license file for more information but you can
+  basically do whatever you want with this code.
+
+  Feel like supporting open source hardware?
+  Buy a board from SparkFun! https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14769
+
+  This example initializes the MLX90640 and outputs the 768 temperature values
+  from the 768 pixels.
+
+  This example will work with a Teensy 3.1 and above. The MLX90640 requires some
+  hefty calculations and larger arrays. You will need a microcontroller with 20,000
+  bytes or more of RAM.
+
+  This relies on the driver written by Melexis and can be found at:
+  https://github.com/melexis/mlx90640-library
+
+  Hardware Connections:
+  Connect the SparkFun Qwiic Breadboard Jumper (https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14425)
+  to the Qwiic board
+  Connect the male pins to the Teensy. The pinouts can be found here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/pinout.html
+  Open the serial monitor at 9600 baud to see the output
