VCNL4040: proximity and ambient light sensor
############################################

Overview
********
 This sample periodically measures proximity and light for
 5 sec in the interval of 300msec in polling mode. Then threshold trigger mode
 is enabled with the high threshold value of 127 and data is fetched based
 on interrupt. The result is displayed on the console.

Requirements
************

 This sample uses the VCNL4040 sensor controlled using the I2C interface.
 Connect sensor INT for interrupt to Feather D5 pin on the Adafruit STM32F405 Feather.

Building and Running
********************

 This project outputs sensor data to the console. It requires a VCNL4040
 sensor to be connected to the desired board.
