Reads the ambient temperature of the temperature sensor and returns a reading in either the Celsius or Fahrenheit scale, depending on the parameter passed.

scale: the scale of the output, valid arguments are: DEGREES_C and DEGREES_F

int : The temperature reading in Celsius or Fahrenheit. The Celsius range is from -40°C to 150°C, the Fahrenheit range is from -40°F to 302°F.

  Serial.begin(9600);

  int celsius = Esplora.readTemperature(DEGREES_C);
