A one-off project – I found the new-age bullshit generator and thought it would be a fun thing to convert the code to C++ , program it into an Arduino project and connect it to a thermal printer. A prototype seemed to go down well at a friend’s birthday party so, in typical fashion I obsessed about it and went mental on the features for version 1.0:

  • Modes:
    • new-age bullshit generator
    • http://wisdomofchopra.com/ integration
    • Magic 8-ball generator
    • Fortune cookie generator
    • Affirmations
    • Haikus
    • Poems
  • Wifi connectivity:

Code and 3D printer files on github.
