Modern Dice

I like playing dice games like mensch, snakes & ladders, yahtzee, and …. Nowadays everything appears in modern form, so it must be very fun to have a modern dice, an electronic dice with LEDs and a microcontroller. If you want to make a modern dice follow this instructable.

Step 1 What you need

To make this dice you need the following components and tools:

• Printed circuit (find files in the next step)
• Copper board
• Sandpaper
• Iron
• Circuit board acid
• 1mm drill
• Soldering tools
• 1x PIC12F675 microcontroller + socket
• 7x 5mm LEDs
• 7x 470ohm resistors (1/8 watt)
• 1x 10k resistor
• 1x Simple push button
• 1x 3V coin battery + battery holder(I couldn't find a battery holder so I made it myself)

Cool job! I especially like the DIY coincell holder on the bottom, I am SO gonna copy that for my own projects.

Man! very beautiful! Get a mac style casing designed and market it! The circuit is perfect!

looks kool, how about encasing it in resin, but somehow leave a hole for battery access and roll button?

[vahid_you2004]

Yes, and at last the dice looks nicer.

You could try switching to smt parts and get it closer to dice size.

Good idea
