In this video I will be building a digital magic 8 ball using a 1.8" TFT display coupled with an Arduino nano 33 BLE Sense platform. This will utilize the onboard accelerometers to sense someone shaking and we will also be 3d printing the case for the ball.

Arduino Libraries:
Adafruit GFX library
Adafruit ST7735 and ST7789
Adafruit SPIFlash
Adafruit imageReader
Arduino BMI270_BMM150
