The machine of answers Using Arduino

Summary of The machine of answers Using Arduino


This project is a decision-making machine that provides answers to life’s dilemmas. After focusing on a question for 10 seconds, pressing a button activates the device, which then displays a response. The machine combines 3D printed parts, mechanical components like threaded rods and bearings, and electronics including an Arduino Uno and a stepper motor driver to achieve its function.

Parts used in the Decision-Making Machine:

  • ButtonHolder-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • logoPen-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • ingranaggioGrande-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • ingranaggioPiccolo-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • FlapStaffaLibera-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • FlapStaffaMotore-1005.stl (3D printed part)
  • NBottom-1005.stl x2 (3D printed parts)
  • Ntop-1005.stl x2 (3D printed parts)
  • FlapRuota-1005.stl x2 (3D printed parts)
  • M8x250 threaded rod x4
  • M8x150 threaded rod x3
  • M8x180 threaded rod x1
  • M8 nuts x100
  • M8 washers x100
  • Iron wire, 1 mm diameter, 95 mm length x40
  • 608 "roller skate" bearings x2
  • M3x15mm bolts x6
  • Arduino UNO
  • Pololu stepper driver A4988
  • Stepper motor (e.g., 35BYG104)
  • Arduino Proto Shield
  • LED
  • Push button 12x12 mm
  • 10k Ohm resistor
  • 320 Ohm resistor

Should you ask your boss for a raise? Call that cute guy you met at a party? Sell your stock?  Wouldn’t it be nice to have a handy method of handling some of life’s more pressing dilemmas?

This machine give you the answer to all you life pressing dilemmas. You need to concentrate on your question for 10 seconds, and when you feel the time is right, press the button, and the machine will give you the answer.
