Electronic Dice Using 7

This document describes an electronic dice project using integrated circuits. The aim is to create a dice that is random but not biased like a normal dice. It uses IC 4017 as a counter/decoder, IC 555 as a timer, and IC 4511 to display the random numbers on a 7-segment display. When the switch is pressed, the IC 4017 toggles the LEDs at a high speed to randomly illuminate one LED representing a number from 1 to 6 on the dice. This electronic dice solves problems of bias and degradation that normal dice experience.

Electronic Dice

With 7 – Segment Display

Aim
The Aim of this project is to learn, study and create different ICs in
digital logic and designing and create a unique project. This
project gives us an immense knowledge of electronic components
which are important to know.

Introduction
Electronic dice is simple electronic circuit with a push button that
can be used like a normal dice in games. The dice works by
switching Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) on and off just like the
pattern of dots found on a traditional dice.
Playing with dice needs us to pick up a dice and make sure that it
is unbiased. Making a block as a dice and cutting it clearly to
make sure that it is unbiased is all an old story. The dice becomes
biased if the shape is not cut well. Also, the dice can become
biased due to deformations. If it is a wooden die, it can deform
due to dampness in the atmosphere or due to mechanical stress.
To solve all these problems which we have with a conventional
dice, we have made a dice circuit which solves all the problems of
a conventional dice.
Electronic LED dice is nearly unbiased. There is no chance to cheat
as the circuit operates and pulsates at such a high speed that the
circuit is almost imperceptible to the human eye. There is also
little maintenance and there is hardly any impact on aging of the
circuit. The frequency may vary a bit with change in power supply
voltage and varying the resistor, aging of the active and passive
components but still the randomness will be preserved without
any trouble.
The main brain of this project is IC 4017 with the help of IC 555
toggles the LEDs at a decent speed. IC 4511 is used to display and
provide the specific LED a Number. The main work is that when
we press the switch, it starts series toggling and when we release
the switch it stops at a random digit next to the sequence giving
you a random number as that for dice.
The clock pulses are given to a counter cum decoder circuit IC
4017 with the seventh output given to reset. It has nine possible
outputs out of which, the seventh is given to reset because we
only need a count up to 6 as a dice has six faces only. The first six
outputs are given respectively to the LEDs so that the respective
LED will glow for the corresponding count. If the count is 1, LED-1
will glow. If the count if 2, LED-2 will glow and so on until the sixth
count. When the count is six, the sixth LED will glow and after that
for the next clock pulse the counter will advance and the count
increments to seven. In this count, the circuit resets itself as the
seventh count is given to the reset pin which is PIN-15.

Pin Configuration
 IC 4017 – CMOS Counter
IC 4017 or CD4017B is a 5-stage Johnson Counter having 10
decoded outputs. Used to build all kinds of the timer, LED
sequencers and controllers circuits. Pin 16 is positive power
supply and pin 8 is a ground. The power supply range of 3 volts
to 16 volts and Maximum power supply voltage at pin 1 must
not much than 18 volts. Pin 13 has Clock enabled pins to
controls the clock. When it is “0” logic, the clock is enabled and
the counter advances one count for each clock pulse. When “1”
logic, the clock input is stopped, and the counter does nothing
even when a clock pulse arrives. Pin 14 is the clock triggers one
count. Pin 15 is the reset pin. Normally, it is “0”. When made
“1”, the counter is reset to “0”. Pins 1-7 and 9-11 are the
decoded output pins. The active count pin goes high and all
others remain low. Pin 12 is Carry output, for the clock input of
an additional counter or an external circuit that the count is
complete.
 IC 555 – Timer
The 555 timer datasheet specifies that 555 IC is a highly stable
device for generating accurate time delays or oscillation.
Additional terminals are provided for triggering or resetting if
desired. In the time delay mode of operation, the time is
precisely controlled by one external resistor and capacitor. For
a stable operation as an oscillator, the free running frequency
and duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external
resistors and one capacitor.
 IC 4511 – CMOS BCD to 7 Segment Latch
Decoder Driver
The 4511 datasheet specifies that this IC is a BCD to 7-segment
latch/decoder/driver with four address inputs (DA to DD), an
active LOW latch enable input (EL), an active LOW ripple blanking
input (BI), an active LOW lamp test input (LT), and seven active
HIGH NPN bipolar transistor segment outputs.
 7 Segment Display

A seven-segment display (SSD) is a widely used electronic


display device for displaying decimal numbers from 0 to 9.
They are most commonly used in electronic devices like
digital clocks, timers and calculators to display numeric
information. As its name indicates, it is made of seven
different illuminating segments which are arranged in such a
way that it can form the numbers from 0-9 by displaying
different combinations of segments. It is also able to form
some alphabets like A, B, C, H, F, E, etc.
