would like the cpu/gpu temp display code

[SgtKiLLx]

hello . im wondering if you have the code to display the pi's cpu/gpu temp on the 1602 i2c

this is not an issue related to the content of this repo. however, I can suggest you to read about the sysfs. there's a subsystem called thermal in /sys/class/ that should contain one or more thermal_zone for different thermal sensors (e.g., thermal_zone0). each thermal_zone should have a temp file that stores the current temperature in millidegree Celsius. so, all you need to do is to inspect such a file with your Python script.

wondering if you could help a borderline noob with this

@SgtKiLLx , you can implement this in many different ways. take a look at the demos for examples of how to interface with the LED driver.

regarding my previous comment, you can use the open() method in Python to assign to a variable the current temperature of a thermal zone, like this:

# create a variable to store the current temperature of the zone0 thermal sensor
temp_zone0 = None

# get the current value from sysfs and assign to your temp_zone0 variable
with open("/sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp") as temp:
    temp_zone0 = float(temp.read())/1000

# now you can do whatever you want with temp_zone0
if temp_zone0:
   print(f"The current temperature of the thermal_zone0 sensor is {temp_zone0} degrees Celsius")
else:
   print("Unable to read the temperature of the thermal_zone0 sensor")

however, instead of print, you have to insert a logic to display the string on the LED. there are many examples in the demos that illustrate how to do exactly that. in addition, you might want to wrap such code in a loop (for, while) to display new temperature readings over time. for a better implementation, you would wrap the with statement in a try block to catch an OSError exception that open() might raise.
