🌡️ 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
