abstract
The electronic dice project is an interesting project that will display in random
the number from 1 to 6 on the 7 segment display. This is an alternative device that
can be used to replace the traditional dice when you are playing games such as
snake ladder, monopoly etc.

The generation of clock is done by using a 555 timer which is connected in the
astable mode at a frequency of approximately 50 Hz. The outputs of decade
counter are connected to a BCD to 7 Segment Decoder which is used to drive a
common anode 7 segment display.

It will Display a Random Result for the 6 faces of the Dice. This circuit works on
+5V power supply.
Introduction

An electronic die capable of reporting roll results is disclosed. The die can include an acceleration
measurement system capable of outputting roll data. A processor can then interpret the roll data and
transmit it through a wireless interface to a monitoring device. The monitoring device can then show
a user the roll result. Waking the electronic die from a low power mode is also disclosed along with
customizing the electronic die with faceplates and protective covers.

Electronic dice is a device that displays, in random,the numbers from 1 to 9 on the 7 segment
display.This is an alternative device that can be used to replace the traditional dice when you are
playing games such as snake ladder ,monopoly etc.

Objectives

The device will increase the fun derived in play the game, even little kids can now join since they
only need to press buttons for the device to work. The game will now be purely based on chance
because all bias will be eradicated no expert can manipulate the device no matter how many times
you use it. The normal phenomenon of playing tricks will be in thing of the past.
Scope of the project
An electronic die comprising, a die casing, a power source configured to supply power, an
acceleration measurement system capable of providing roll data indicative of the orientation of the
die casing, a wireless interface capable of communicating a roll result indicative of the orientation
of the die casing based on the roll data to a monitoring device, wherein the die casing is capable
of enclosing some or all of the acceleration measurement system, the wireless interface, and the
power source, and wherein when assembled at least the electronic die forms a three or more sided
gaming die.

The work covered the playing and displaying of the number. This means that the device when switched on
and start button is pressed it will be rapidly displaying the numbers, that is, all the numbers of a ludo dice but
when the stop button is dressed a particular number will be shown and this is the number the player got.

 working
Press the push switch to 'throw' the dice: this makes the circuit rapidly cycle through the dice
numbers so that an effectively random dice number is displayed by the LEDs when the push
switch is released.

Drill seven 5mm holes in a dice pattern to mount the LEDs on a panel such as a plastic box lid
or sheet of thin plywood. They should be a tight fit but a little glue can be applied from the
underside if necessary.

The 555 astable circuit provides clock pulses at about 5kHz for the 4017 counter which has ten
outputs (Q0 to 09). Each output becomes high in turn as the clock pulses are received. Only six
counts (Q0-05) are needed so Q6 is connected to reset. Appropriate outputs are combined with

CD 4017 IC-Decade Counter

The CD4017 is a CMOS Decade counter IC. CD4017 is used for low range counting
applications. It can count from 0 to 10 (the decade count). The circuit designed by
using this ic will save board space and also time required to design the circuit.
CD4017 is as ‘Johnson 10 stage decade counter’.

IC 555 timer
The 555 timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) used in a variety of timer, pulse generation and oscillator applications. Here, it
is used in astable mode to generate clock pulse for the decade counter to count.
Advantages
● Electronic dice can be used in situations where it is not ideal for

normal dice.

● Hand tricks during the dice rolling can be avoided.

● Normal small dice can be lost easily but with the electronic dice there is no such problem.

● For example, while we are traveling, in a car or a bus we cannot use normal dice where we can use
electronic dice.

● Its prototype is very similar to normal dice and is easy to use.
