This example code is written for the MAX32625PICO board to program the MAX31875 silicon temperature sensor to output 12-bit temperature readings every 125ms. The MAX32625PICO will appear as a virtual COM port to print readings to a terminal, and the on-board LEDs will alternate between red, green, and blue during normal operation.
