+# 🌡️ ThermoMood Display
+
+**A circular mood visualizer based on skin temperature — perfect for your desk or cubicle.**  
+Touch the thermocouple, and the GC9A01A round display reveals a mood with color and snarky commentary.
+

+
+## 📦 Features
+
+- Displays Fahrenheit temperature at the bottom of a circular screen
+- Mood is selected based on skin temperature ranges
+- Background color changes dynamically with mood
+- Funny, sarcastic, cubicle-safe mood labels
+- Word-wrapped, auto-centered text
+- Smooth average filtering to avoid noisy updates
