Save time with efficient and accurate weight measurement using MAX11270 and PIC18F57Q43

 * @brief LoadCell6 Click example
 *
 * # Description
 * This library contains API for the Load Cell 6 Click driver.
 * The library initializes and defines the SPI bus drivers to read status and ADC data. 
 * The library also includes a function for tare, calibration and weight measurement.
 *
 * The demo application is composed of two sections :
 *
 * ## Application Init
 * Initialization of SPI module and log UART.
 * After driver initialization, app performs the power on
 * sets tare the scale, calibrate scale and start measurements.
 *
 * ## Application Task
 * This is an example that demonstrates the use of the Load Cell 6 click board™.
 * The Load Cell 6 click board™ can be used to measure weight and
 * shows the measurement of scales in grams [ g ].
 * Results are being sent to the Usart Terminal where you can track their changes.
