 * @brief LoadCell3 Click example
 *
 * # Description
 * This library contains API for the Load Cell 3 click driver.
 * The library also includes a function for tare and calibration and weight measurement.
 * This demo application shows an example of weight measurement.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initialization of I2C module and log UART.
 * After driver initialization and default settings, the app sets tare the scale, 
 * calibrate scale and start measurements. 
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * This is an example that shows the use of a Load Cell 3 click board™.
 * The Load Cell 3 click board can be used to measure weight,
 * shows the measurement of scales in grams [ g ].
 * Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
