I2C Bus Scan for Sensors Si7021 and VCNL4000 with RPi pico

raspberrypi rpi pico rp2040 c/c++ i2c Si7021 VCNL4000

This example code does an I2C Bus Scan for the sensors Si7021 and VCNL4000.

The datasheets of the 2 sensors below show that the serial monitor prints are in line with the information in the datasheet.

The I2C address for Si7021 is 0x40. Si7021 datasheet note on the I2C address

The I2C address for VCNL4000 is 0x13. VCNL4000 datasheet note on the I2C address
