+    **Quickstart: Importing and using the MLX90614**
+
+        Here is an example of using the :class:`MLX90614` class.
+        First you will need to import the libraries to use the sensor
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            import board
+            import adafruit_mlx90614
+
+        Once this is done you can define your `board.I2C` object and define your sensor object
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            i2c = board.I2C()
+            mlx = adafruit_mlx90614.MLX90614(i2c)
+
+        Now you have access to the :attr:`ambient_temperature` attribute
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            temperature = mlx.ambient_temperature
+
+    """
