# This example takes the temperature from the Pico's onboard temperature sensor, and displays it on Pico Display Pack, along with a little pixelly graph.
# It's based on the thermometer example in the "Getting Started with MicroPython on the Raspberry Pi Pico" book, which is a great read if you're a beginner!
