Issue 1: Determining CPU Temperature

Possible Solution: The STM32L496RGT6 has an internal semiconductor-based temperature probe. We could find out how to access and retrieve this temperature information.

Note: This may require the use of an ADC to poll the internal sensor and convert it into a Celsius measurement.

Recommendations: You most likely will need to use an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to convert the raw voltage coming out of the sensor into a digital value. This digital value can be converted into a Celsius value based on the given characteristics of the internal temperature sensor.
