/** | |
* Simple Ambient temperature display. | |
* | |
* Will display the temperature in both Fahrenheit and Celsius and | |
* adjust the backlight color depending on the temperature. | |
* | |
* If the temperature range is between 61F and 67F, the display will be | |
* green. Above and it will be red, below is blue. | |
* | |
* More information is available here: | |
* http://analogmachines.com/blog/2012/01/30/ambient-temperature-display/ | |
* | |
* This is for use with the Adafruit RGB backlight positive LCD | |
* (http://www.adafruit.com/products/398) and uses example code from | |
* their tutorial for changing the backlight color (http://www.ladyada.net/learn/lcd/charlcd.html). | |
