MAX6675 K-thermocouple to digital converter
###########################################
Overview
********
This is a sample application to read an external MAX6675
cold-junction-compensated K-thermocouple to digital converter.
Requirements
************
- MAX6675 wired to your board SPI bus
- K-thermocouple connected to MAX6675 T+/T- inputs

Building and Running
********************
This sample can be built with any board that supports SPI. A sample overlay is
provided for the NUCLEO-F030R8 board.

Sample Output
=============
The application will read and print sensor temperature every second. Note that
temperature fetch will fail if the K-thermocouple is not connected. This is
because MAX6675 is able to detect if the K-thermocouple is connected or not.

Temperature: 25.25 C
Temperature: 25.50 C
