A sophisticated digital circuit design project that accurately tracks and displays dice roll frequencies in real-time. This system integrates with existing mechanical dice-throwing equipment to provide precise counting and display functionality through LCD screens.
The circuit implements a complete dice counting system with the following key components:
- 3-to-8 line Decoder for input processing
- Six 4-bit Counters for frequency tracking
- NAND gates for logic control
- Display ICs for each frequency output
- Binary switches for configuration
- Real-time dice roll frequency counting
- Six independent LCD display outputs
- Seamless integration with existing mechanical equipment
- High accuracy and reliability
- Zero latency response time
- Automatic sample detection and processing
- 4 input lines for dice number detection
- 1 dedicated sample availability signal line
- Compatible with standard TTL/CMOS logic levels

Input Connections: - PIN 1-4: Dice number input - PIN 5: Sample availability signal - GND: Common ground - VCC: 5V power supply -
Testing
- Power on the system
- Verify all LCD displays are functional
- Run a test sequence using manual inputs
- Validate counter accuracy
- Ensure all power connections are secure
- Power on the mechanical dice throwing equipment
- Initialize the dice counter system
- Start the dice throwing sequence
- Monitor real-time results on LCD displays
- Record or analyze data as needed
Common issues and solutions:
- No Display Output: Check power connections and LCD interface cables
- Incorrect Counts: Verify input signal timing and connections
- System Reset: Use the manual reset switch if counting errors occur
- Display Flickering: Check power supply stability
- Circuit Simulation Issues:
- Ensure LogicWorks is properly installed
- Check for any missing component libraries
- Verify all connections in the simulation
