How to use 2 MAX6675 Thermocouple k type sensor with 2 or more LCD1602 I2C and Arduino

MAX6675 Thermocouple k type sensor with 2 or more LCD1602 and Arduino

Arduino code to read temperature using MAX6675 chip and k-type thermocouple and display it on 2 or more LCD1602 I2C display.
If you want to display the temperature for both sensors on the same dispaly, then see the code this page.
