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 ±1° 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 nRF52 DK board is used.
