ELECTRONIC DICE

The PICAXE ELECTRONIC DICE uses a Picaxe microcontroller. Using coding to program the Picaxe microcontroller you can randomly generate a LED Display to show one of six LED combinations simulating the display of a thrown dice. 

The dice works by switching Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on and off in the pattern of dots found on a traditional dice. The microcontroller is the ‘brain’ of the dice. It can be programmed to switch things on and off in any sequence. The microcontroller in the dice can switch the LEDs on and off to show numbers between one and six. 

As the ‘diagonal’ pairs on LEDs in the dice always light at the same time, they can be switched on and off by the same microcontroller output.
