Starter prompt

Based on "Arduino UNO Grove desk console with two editions" on Afterware: https://afterware.xyz/p/arduino-uno-grove-desk-console-with-two-editions

Write Arduino UNO firmware for a desk console with a 128x64 I2C OLED and Grove modules for temperature and humidity. In the first mode, show readings on the display and sound a buzzer when values pass set limits. In the second mode, run a countdown timer for an exam period with start, pause and reset buttons. Keep the code modular so each mode is a separate function.
