add new files and create new functions

[Geniezito]

• keywords.txt file was created

• Functions.txt was created: a brief description of some functions that are used in the library (for novice users)

• added readAmbientTempK() - readObjectTempK() and setOffsetTemp() functions.

  • the first two allow to visualize the temperature in degrees Kelvin (some of us needed it).
  • the third allows to preset an adjustment value for the temperature obtained, since these sensors must be frequently calibrated to accept their use in some scenarios,

• Therefore, the Adafruit_MLX90614.h and Adafruit_MLX90614.cpp functions were modified

• Two examples were added and the original example was modified.

  • These examples include the option to adjust the emissivity parameter, which is only written once for each sensor (as we do when presetting the time on a DS1302 "or similar) -Likewise, the option to set the temperature correction (adjustment) parameter for sensor calibration processes.

I attach the library folder with the described settings adjust_Adafruit_MLX90614_Library.zip

@ladyada I'd be willing to review this if you want me to, but I don't think I'd be able to comment on anything other than documentation changes since I don't really know C++

@Geniezito Hey! What GitHub Actions is currently failing on is the clang-format check. You can find out how to run that here: https://learn.adafruit.com/the-well-automated-arduino-library/formatting-with-clang-format

If you have any questions about doing that, or you find anything confusing, let me know. I just added that page to the guide, so it'd be good to know if there's anything confusing or unclear in it.

Thanks!

Thanks for your help, the truth is that although I know the C ++ language, I have not practiced it for many years and these adjustments that are required for the library are new to me. I will try to do what is in your guide and if I definitely cannot, I will write to you by this means to ask for your help. thank you

Definitely couldn't, I'd appreciate if you could give me a hand with this setting.

There's some info on installing and running clang-format here: https://learn.adafruit.com/the-well-automated-arduino-library/formatting-with-clang-format

Can you provide more information on this:

The third allows to preset an adjustment value for the temperature obtained, since these sensors must be frequently calibrated to accept their use in some scenarios,

The correction looks likes a simple offset. Can you provide an example of how one would determine that value?

Dear, caternuson:

in reference to your question:

From the point of view of health services, this type of thermometer must be periodically calibrated, to verify that its readings conform to real data, for this, they take as a reference readings from analog thermometers, or digital thermometers with certified calibration.

In terms of the sensor, it is simply to adjust an offset, as you say, however, the person in charge of quality control of the device must take that control, so that when the adjustment requires a very high offset, the use of the device is not allowed or it is recommended to change the sensor.

This is why it is quite important to be able to access the adjustment of that simple offset

[ladyada]

the offset should be initialized to zero and should apply to all unit readings
