ABSTRACT:

Digital Dice This digital dice project is an interesting project that will display in random the number from 1 to 9 on the 7 segment display. This is an alternative device that can be used to replace the traditional dice when you are playing games such as snake ladder, monopoly etc. The generation of clock is done by using a 555 timer which is connected in the astable mode at a frequency of approximately 50 Hz. This clock signal is fed into the decade counter which outputs are connected to 4 bit binary adder which provides a binary output equavalent to binary input + 1. The outputs are then connected to a BCD to 7 Segment Decoder which is used to drive a common anode 7 segment display About 555 timer:
The 555 Timer IC is an integrated circuit (chip) implementing a variety of timer and multivibrator applicationsDepending on the manufacturer, the standard 555 package includes over 20 transistors, 2 diodes and 15 resistors on a silicon chip installed in an 8-pin mini dual-in-line package (DIP-8).[4]

The 555 has three operating modes:

Monostable mode: in this mode, the 555 functions as a "one-shot". Applications include timers, missing pulse detection, bouncefree switches, touch switches, frequency divider, capacitance

measurement, pulse-width modulation (PWM) etc Astable - free running mode: the 555 can operate as an oscillator. Uses include LED and lamp flashers, pulse generation, logic clocks, tone generation, security alarms, pulse position modulation, etc.

Bistable mode or Schmitt trigger: the 555 can operate as a flip-flop, if the DIS pin is not connected and no capacitor is used. Uses include bouncefree latched switches, etc.

As shown in the schematic above, when push button PB is pressed, a square output will be generated from the 555 timer whichgives a frequency of approximately 50 Hz to the 7490 decade counter IC. The frequency of the astable 555 timer is calculated by using the standard formula of the timer. f = 1.44/(1K + 2*1K)(0.01uF) = 48 Hz.

The output from the 555 timer is then connected to the input of U1 7490 decade counter. When the decade counter reach the count of 9, the outputs of QA and QD will go to logic"1"

and the counter is reset. The 7447 BCD to 7 segment decoder is used to drive the 7 segment common anode display.

Parts List

CONCLUSION: In case of using general dice in playing games like monopoly if we use this device then we can observe that the technology is used at every where . This model explains about how seven segment display was generated by using 555timer
