I am wondering if it is possible to use a digital IR sensor with marlin? I do not mean a thermistor or similiar, but a sensor that measures the IR waves coming from a specific point on a target. I am thinking of a sensor that uses the I2C bus, like the MLX90614:

For this sensor I even found an existing library:

github.com]
I saw that in the configuration_adv.h there is the option of using the I2C for experimental purposes and that there are G-Code commands like
M260
M261
for sending or requesting information, but I have absolutly no idea how to adress the IR-Sensor right or what to type in in the serial monitor to get a temperature value. For me it seems that the I2C bus is primarily used for alternative LCD panels.
I hope my English is good enough, otherwise please tell me if there are any misunderstandings.
