Story

Intro:- Sometimes people get confused that what should them to choose, but this project will generate one option between multiples to make decision fast....

Now after you make the circuit you have to install LiquidCrystal_I2C.h library.

For that, gotoSketch--->IncludeLibrary----->ManageLibrarys----->SEARCH"LiquidCrystal.h"

Then simply install this library.

You may Compile this sketch once.

Next step is to select proper BOARD and PORTS

(Remember somethimes Arduino shows error due to wrong selection of board and ports)

Now it is ready to Upload.

If you still get any error then you can comment me.

CODE FOR THIS GADGET

#include<LiquidCrystal_I2C.h>
//INSTALL THIS LIBRARY FIRST

LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd (0x27,16,2);

int button=8;//CONNECT BUTTON TO DigitalPin 8

char *options[]={"First option","Second Option"}; 
long option1;

void setup(){
  lcd.init();
   lcd.backlight();
    pinMode(button,INPUT);
    randomSeed(500);
      
           
}
void loop(){

    
      
      
                  int state=0;
                      state=digitalRead(button);

              if(state==HIGH){
                         
                             option1 = random(sizeof(options)/sizeof(char*));
                        lcd.clear();
                         delay(1000);

                              lcd.print("PROCESSING....");
                                  lcd.blink();

                    delay(4000);
                            lcd.clear();
