Hi James, everyone
Thanks for the ideas in your reply.
Do thing of copying the example code then adding features.
eg. "blink" -> flashes-out morse code with LED on "breadboard"
At least got that far.
Addresses hint re. Arduino I2C to breakout board great.
Maybe accept crawl before tray to walk - do simpler code just to see if
can get the I2C connection going - forget trying to read the
thermocouple yet?
Thinking of the idea of trying the addresses.

For me finding and correcting programming errors is hard enough that I try one new thing at a time so I know at least where to look if it fails. That's why I decide and test how to display dummy data before measuring it for real. I2C data may be useful if shown both as binary bits and their numerical equivalent, for configuration and temperature.
I've programmed since the early 80's but a few days ago I got tangled in a simple IF THEN ELSE in a spreadsheet. After breaking off to do something else and returning with fresh eyes the typing error was obvious.
