This project was created on 02/16/2016 and last updated 10 years ago.

Description

When you wake up with a fever, real or imaginary, and want to stay home from school you can use this device to easily show your parents you are really sick. The Neopixel ring will show colors to show how much of a fever you have. Reder is hotter bluer is colder. The numbers will also be reported to AdafruitIO so your parents can see online that you are not faking it during the day.
