Dice Bag uses Adafruit's Circuit Playground (https://www.adafruit.com/products/3000) to roll dice of several type, d100, d20, d12 or d6. An optional custom 3in button was created to mount the CP on. The test unit uses a 150mah lipo (https://www.adafruit.com/products/1317) mounted on the back side of the button.

Features

Can roll d100, d20, d12,or d6

Hold button down and hear the bones rolling

NeoPixels will brighten or dim based on surrounding light level

Will not roll off table

Does not cheat

User Manual

Select the type of die you would like to throw by putting the Select Switch in the proper position

and then pressing the proper Button

Select Switch + Left Button d100 (0-99) Right Button d20 (1-20)
Select Switch - Left Button d12 (1-12) Right Button d06 (1-6)

Dicebag Make Code For Circuit Playground Express

In preparing for Adafruit's new version of the Circuit Playground I started using the web browser based dev environment over at http://makecode.adafruit.com

Select the type of die you would like to throw by setting the Select Switch
and pressing one of the Buttons



Select Switch Left and Button A = d100
Select Switch Left and Button B = d20
Select Switch Right and Button A = d12
Select Switch Right and Button B = d6



You can hold down the Button and it will flash through many tosses.
Release the Button and your results will show on the Circuit Playground as
two (or one) lit NeoPixel



Red=Tens Place (0-9)
Blue=Ones Place (0-9)
Green=Tens and Ones are the same (00,11,22,33,44,55,66,77,88,99)



The NeoPixels are arranged from 0 - 9 . If you are holding your Circuit Playground with the USB port facing Up
0 is the top left NeoPixel closest to the USB port



1 is to the left of that
..
4 is the bottom let NeoPixel closest to the Battery Jack
5 is the bottom right NeoPixel closest to the Battery Jack

CP Dice Bag For The Visually Impaired

tomwsmf • 08/16/2016 at 23:03 • 0 comments

My kids play games with a friend who is visually impaired. The thought went up, can the CP speak? According to Adadfuit's example code the answer is yes...but it is a finicky beast to hear. I put the code in from their example code and worked it into the flow of the Dice Bag code. When you release the button it will not only show you the results on the Neopixels but also speak it from that teeeeny tiny speaker on the CP.

This is the first stab at a solution. I am going to try some of the other speech code to see if those are more understandable on this speaker.

Another idea was to uses beeps to give the results of the dice throw. If the speech does not pan out in testing we might go that route.

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_CircuitPlayground.h>

One Day - One Project - More Coffee
tomwsmf • 08/15/2016 at 04:13 • 0 comments
Last night the idea was floated to make a Dice Roller on the Circuit Playground. This morning we took it up...
1. What started as a d6 tosser grew to multiple dice type thanks to the switch and two buttons on the CP.
  1. Random gen needs some work, had to add to the range.
  2. Use Select switch and Buttons to select the dice type
    1. Switch + and Left Button is a d100
    2. Switch + and Right Button is a d20
    3. Switch - and Left Button is a d12
    4. Switch - and Right Button is a d6
2. Working out the display took some iterating.
  1. 2 digits, 2 neopixels
    1. Red for 10's
    2. Blue for 1's
    3. Green if it is the same for both
3. Needed sound. Tried to get it to sound like dice being shaken...which yeah...it is what it is.
4. Hey look, a light sensors. Lets make the Neopixels dim or brighten based on the surrounding light levels.
5. Lets mount it to a 3inch custom button. We have a button maker so why not.
  1. Created a 3inch button template with numbers in the right place
    1. added an old school rpg pic in the background
    2. Put a scaled img of the CP on the button face so placement is easier
  2. Little lipo fits on the back
  3. Using double sided tape to hold all parts down for now.
