The debounce code comes from Arduino's tutorial and I recommend reading that for more details. The reason we have to debounce the button is that the circuit is not an instanton/off.The button works by physically connecting two wires. There's a moment when the wires are close together but not solidly connected where the button will bounce very rapidly between on and off. Once the button is fully pressed, the connection is solid and it will stop bouncing. The debounce logic works by waiting until the same value is returned by the button for a minimum amount of time, in this case 50 milliseconds. Once that happens we can trigger our action, which is to shuffle() and then roll() the dice.

The next thing we have to do is tell the Arduino IDE what port the board is plugged into. This is done using the Tools > Port menu. The next thing you need to do is tell the Arduino IDE what kind of board you have. This is done through the Tools > Board menu. As you can see, I've bent a few of the LEDs so that they don't share the same voltage inputs. They can however all share the same ground connections. Below is a wiring diagram showing all of the connections without the grounds. Different Arduino's use different USB connectors, so make sure you have the correct cable. I'm using the Arduino Uno, which requires a USB B-Type cable. If your Arduino has multiple USB ports, like the Zero, connect it to the one labeled "program". Arduinos are powered over USB, so once it's connected some LEDs should light up. 3. Run the Arduino Blink Example We will use three inputs A,B and C to represent the three digits as ABC (A is the most significant digit, C is the least significant digit). When creating the electronic circuit we will use 3 switches to represent these 3 inputs.

We will then use three buttons/switches to control the 7 LEDs of the dice to recreate the following patterns: On Macs the port will be named something like "cu.usbmodem".Select the appropriate port from the list. On other operating systems, it will be named differently. Refer to the Arduino documentation for details.

This code is very simple. The first thing I do is make the button pin an input so I can read whether it's pushed or not. The only other thing I do is set all the LED pins as outputs.

Write Some Code

This is how the circuit functions and you can increase the frequency of the circuit if you feel that you need more randomness so that it is very hard to perceive. This circuit can be implemented on a general purpose PCB with a 9V DC power supply. Applications
