  Buy a board from SparkFun! https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14769

  This example outputs 768 temperature values as fast as possible. Use this example
  in conjunction with our Processing visualizer.

  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 115200 baud to see the output
