The Arduino sketch in the article contains a multitude of messages which are randomly displayed on demand.

When recreating this project you will save time and effort by using our Eleven Arduino-compatible board in conjunction with our LCD display shield, which also contains five buttons you can make use of, for example:
So to start your journey of oddball fortune telling, check out the instructions detailed here, and our range of hardware here.
