Useful project using i2c with this sensor.

This is a really tough sensor to wire up due to the additional high/low pins required. These don't seem very well documented.

When using a candle lighter within the proximity of the sensor I can trigger it to record something in the debug log. Just that it isn't that helpful just yet.
