Dice: Design 1

a compact and versatile electronic circuit designed to simulate the functionality of a traditional dice using the ATTINY85 microcontroller. This innovative circuit is ideal for gaming, educational purposes, or as a fun DIY electronics project. The ATTINY85, a low-power 8-bit microcontroller, serves as the brain of the system, offering programmability and control over the dice's behavior. The circuit is designed to be simple yet highly customizable, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced electronics enthusiasts.

 

The core of the circuit consists of the ATTINY85 microcontroller, which is programmed to generate random numbers between 1 and 6, mimicking the roll of a standard six-sided dice. The output is displayed using a set of LEDs arranged in a pattern that resembles the dots on a dice face. The LEDs are controlled by the microcontroller, which lights up the appropriate combination of LEDs to represent the rolled number. The circuit can be powered by a small battery, making it portable and easy to use in various settings.

 

One of the key features of this circuit is its programmability. Users can modify the code running on the ATTINY85 to change the behavior of the dice, such as adjusting the speed of the "roll," adding animations, or even expanding the range of numbers beyond the standard six. The circuit can also be enhanced with additional components, such as a push-button to trigger the dice roll.
