Mobile Sensor

Problem: You were asked to measure show the temperature, humidity, light level, or other measurement while away from a computer. How do you view data without a Serial Monitor?

What You Need:

Temperature Sensor or another sensor (Light, Accelerometer, Soil Moisture, etc)
LCD with I2C

What Does Success Look Like:

The LCD is correctly connected to the Arduino and the libraries are installed (able to display a message)
The message on the LCD shows the current temperature or light level from a sensor
The message updates every one to two seconds with new temperature or light level

Hints:

Start with Temperature Sensor program
Add LiquidCrystal_I2C library to code
Add LiquidCrystal_I2C "lcd" declaration
Initialize the LCD in the Setup
After writing the temp to the Serial Monitor:
- Clear the LCD
- Write temperature variable and "° F" on first line
- Write humidity variable and "% humidity" on second line
