Single Chip Dice
A circuit for electronics dice is already published in www.electronicsproject.org. Here is single chip version (of course CMOS) of the same which offers touch switch facility.
Internal oscillator of IC1 is utilized here, along with the counter. When the touch pad is touched, input of the oscillator gets the signal processed by R1 and C1 through finger tip. So, it oscillates at a frequency determined by R1 and C1. Counter counts up to “101” and reset (due to D1, D2 and R2). R4 limit the LED current to around 4 mA.
Touch pad can be replaced by push button switch if desired. Optional components R7 and Buzzer comprise a “Watch Dog”. Note that B type IC is a must for the circuit.

i’m doing a microprocessor and digital logic based project where i need to do a simple circuit using logic gates,resistors,LEDs and switch. then combined it with microprocessor of 68k. so, i decided to do an electronic dice which i generate random number in easy68k then connect it to the logic circuit. Do you think its okay if i just generate number 1-6 in binary–> then connect it to the circuit which all the gates is inverter –>and give output to LEDs ? (the switch is positioned between the resistor and LEDs)
