Detailed Description

Class that allows the user to communicate with the MCP9808 temperature sensor using its I2C interface.

This class creates a MCP object that interfaces with the I2C object. The initializer is given a reference to an already created I2C object and the address of the MCP9808 on the I2C bus. This class also contains methods to veriy the sensor, and take temperature readings in Celcius and Fahrenheit.
