This dice kit is different from all the rest of the kits on the market today. Many kits on the market only have one die where this kit has
two. When the dice are not being used as dice; it can also be used as a count down timer, light display, light display with turn off timer
and a one or two person laser target game. This makes this kit a great value!
This project assumes you can build the project from referencing the schematic. Point-to-point instructions are not provided.
Kit Includes:
Capacitor, 0.022µF, 50V Transistor, MPSA06, NPN Led, red, T1-3/4

Step 1 - Dice
Use the schematic below to see how to wire the dice. Many of the parts can be hot glued to the inside of the box itself; switches LEDs,
etc. A larger/downloadable version of the schematic can be found on the product page:

Step 2 - Hand schematic
Hand schematic of the dice project which can be easier to follow than the computer make schematic.
Don't forget the center LED of both dice does NOT go to ground. Because the LEDs do not
carry much power, you may wire wrap the LEDs.
Enter mode 1. Press switch 1. Die 1 will flash and show a number. Press switch 2 and that die will flash and then show a number.
Enter mode 2. Press switch 1 and the center light on die 1 will light. This center light on die 1 is the only light on the timer that has a
value of 30 seconds. All the rest of the lights on the timer have a value of 1 minute. Press switch 1 again and the center light will go out
and the upper left light will light. The timer is now set to count down from 1 minute. You can count down from a maximum of 12 minutes.
Every 30 seconds the lights will change to show 30 seconds have passed. When all the lights have gone out, the timer will beep. You
can press switch 2 to turn the beeper OFF. If you do not turn the beeper off; the timer will stop beeping after about 50 seconds.
Enter mode 4. The lights light in delightful patterns. The lights turn off after about 24.5 minutes. The dice are still using a small amount
of power with the light off in this mode. So when you get a chance to turn the power switch to off, you might want to.
Enter mode 5. In this mode the center LED of each die will become light sensitive. The die will count each time a strong light hits the
center LED on the die. You can use two laser pointers. Use one laser pointer for each die. Wave the laser pointer back and forth over
the center LED of the die. The first person to light all six LEDs on the die wins!
