What is the Fact-O-Matic?
This project is a fun fact printer which randomly chooses a fact from a text file containing 732 unique pieces of information.
The text file was sourced from a GitHub post Here
In future I’m planning to use an ESP-32 with WI-FI capabilities so that I can get a new fact from the internet each time the button is pressed!

I’d also recommend getting a 9V, 2-3A power supply since the printer works better at this level
This Code is also far from optimised, really I should’ve used interrupts to detect the button press but I didn’t so there’s some latency
