/*

 Esplora TFT Temperature Display
 
 This example for the Arduino TFT screen is for use
 with an Arduino Esplora.
 
 This example reads the temperature of the Esplora's
 on board thermisistor and displays it on an attached
 LCD screen, updating every second.
 
 This example code is in the public domain.
