Context: I created this Arduino project with classmate Emma Shaw as part of an assignment required for the Practical Electronics lab course I took at Agnes Scott College during the fall 2019 semester. Our assignment was to work in pairs to create, build, and code a fun project (using an Arduino) that solves a hypothetical problem. The problem that Emma and I chose to focus on was the problem of indecision: we wanted to create a multifunctional device using Arduino that helps the user choose between different options or get advice as to which one they should pick. The Arduino Oracle was born: a device that combines two different “simulators” in order to offer the functionality of both. The lefthand side of the device functions as a “dice rolling simulator,” while the righthand side of the device mimics a magic 8 ball. Our project utilized an Arduino Uno Rev3 SMD as well as a Parallax LCD screen, and ran off of a random number generator code in order to determine the output.

I chose to film and edit a video showcasing the finished product. The video explains some key features of the Arduino Oracle and shows the possible outcomes the device can display.
