+This example will initialize the display using displayio and draw a bmp image
+background, and overlay text containing the value read from the on-board temperature sensor.
+User may press the A button to switch between celsius and fahrenheit units.
+
+Required libraries:
+* Adafruit_CircuitPython_Gizmo
+* Adafruit_CircuitPython_ST7789
+* Adafruit_CircuitPython_Display_Text
+* Adafruit_CircuitPython_CircuitPlayground
