CoreS3 & NCIR 2 UNIT not reading sensor correctly

[reptilepvp]

I'm using Arduino IDE 2.3.4 & having the issue with the unit reading the temperature data. If I use UIFLOW the sensor works perfect but whenever I try to get it to read thru IDE. It constantly just reads 2784 degree's. If I use the user demos . It picks up the i2c addy as the default 0x5A. Please help if possible, this is my code .

#include <M5CoreS3.h>
#include <M5GFX.h>
#include <M5UNIT_NCIR2.h>

@reptilepvp
I don't quite understand, according to the document, the I2C address of NCIR2 is 0x5A
Maybe you should try leaving only the code for reading the temperature?

@kuriko i wanted the code to read in Fahrenheit . But also the issue is that it’s the reading the i2c connection but in UIFlow it does.
