🌼 ChibiChanGuard: Interactive Anime-Themed Temp & Pest Monitor
ChibiChanGuard is an interactive, desktop anime mascot and environmental monitoring system built on Arduino. It combines real-time temperature sensing and proximity detection with an animated pixel-art interface and voice lines.
When everything is clear, your desktop companion stays calm and happy. If someone or something triggers the sensor, she reacts with custom sprite animations, state changes, and audio responses!
