Alright...
Sebi, I think I
might do that, it looks pretty cool how it makes it look like real dice. Matrix dice I think they call that right? Anyway, I could just have the switch be a SP
ST. Instead of SPDT. The SPST could simply switch the power off for the 2nd dice. However, I
think I'd rather do the 7-segment thing... I think
Jimbo, about the random thing... here's the way I see it. I think, that all games would be fairer, if the dice were always completely random about there numbers. Don't you feel the same way? Anyway, needless to say I think that's ok. So, how
could I expand it into 2 dice? By the way, thanks for finding a 7-segment one. :wink:
themikestar: Looks good, also, thanks for the 7-segment version. But I might have a hard time adding a second digit.
nettron1000: Like I said to Sebi, matrix dice are cool. If I decide to do the 7-segment thing, how could I do that? Hmm... maybe I'll do both!
Everyone: I think the main problem, is the 7-segment adding. You see... if I used matrix dice, then they could be two totally different circuits altogether. So I would only need a one dice version. But, how stupid would it be, to do the same thing with 7-sement displays, if you have to add the two digits together anyway? I mean, the point of digital displays, is so it will give you a direct reading, as if it were on paper. Now, doing the matrix dice version would be easier, but it's not digital. (Isn't that always the case? The digital version is harder to make and more expensive...but better, than the analog version.) So, ALL I need, is schematics for a random number from 2-12 to show up on two digital displays. Then, I'll just use an SPDT switch, to either power the one digit version, or the two digit version. Or, I can do the matrix thing, and that's already figured out. Now, one more question. Can I use the same 7-segment display, for the one digit digital version, and the first digit of the 2 digit version? Or will the IC's damage each other depending on which version (1 or 2 digit) is powered? If you have gotten this far in reading, and are still actually paying attention to what you’re reading, thank you very much. Now this thing is almost finished! I just need the 2-12 digit schematics. Then I'll be able to stop bugging you guys about this.
Once again, thanks everyone. :wink:
