Try 1st - Arduino + MCP9600 + thermocouple

As title suggests - first try.
No "how to do it" information yet found.

Instinct - unless guided, I am going to have to leave this until / if knowledge rises to a good enough level that can see what needs doing.

What done today:

So this is plugging in the thermocouple-amplifier breakout-board with I2C connections into the one-to-one matching I2C pins on the Arduino.

Checking with voltmeter with prod contacts - breakout-board connections:

So no indication of problems here (?) ie eliminates explanation of poor connections.

Could only find "adafruit" code "mcp9600_test.ino" and although have programmed in "C", cannot "read" this code yet.

Stopped on

Serial.println("Sensor not found. Check wiring!");

in function / section
/* Initialise the driver with I2C_ADDRESS and the default I2C bus. */
