Temperature Collection Main Script
This script is used to collect temperature data for using the built-in NUCLEO temperature sensor and an external Adafruit MCP9808 temperature sensor breakout board. I2C communication is used to collect the external temperature data, and temperature readings are taken every minute. The time since the beginning of data collection, internal NUCLEO temp, and external MCP9808 temp are all saved as one line in an external file for every round of data collection.

Variable Documentation

address

int main_young.address = 0x18

Define the I2C bus address of the MCP9808 temperature sensor.

Default address sourced from Adafruit spec sheet.

currTime

main_young.currTime = utime.ticks_ms()

Define variable to hold updated current time.

Define a limit for runs after which to end data collection (only valid for timed data collection) runLimit = 480.
