- We all love dice, right? They roll, they uh... roll more. They're great, but they've been the same for thousands of years, let's mix it up a bit and build Mr. Dice, the ultimate digital dice rolling gadget.
In this video I use a Rasperry Pi Pico along with a custom PCB, some off the shelf components, and a bit of 3D printing to bring this thing to life.

A few quick corrections:
Next version needs "Shake to Roll". Looks great.
For those wondering about the d10, the case itself is already a ten. Great video!
“Dice are one of my favorite objects, they are up there bananas and trucks.” Thank you for clearly establishing your autism credentials up front, now I can fully trust you on this videos subject matter.
Fun story: in school we made our own PCBs using sharpies and an acid bath. You got the PCB and drew the traces on with sharpie and put it in the bath. Then when it comes out the acid has taken away the copper leaving where you drew untouched. I believe it’s called Acid Etching. This was for Electronics. I felt so baller cause mine had a lil pokeball Easter egg and also the words “I miss it. The steel sky” as reference to my two favourite games at the time. Ah to be a child again.
I’d honestly pay for this if it was a product, yes more expensive than actual dice but definitely a conversation piece at the table and the convenience is cool!
Your hand drawn sketches are really nice ✨
Just try making a Patreon. Plenty of fans would probably love to chip in, especially if you make the print files and schematics and code of your projects available for them to test out after subscribing to it. just something to think on to maybe help prevent you from having to take a soul-sucking job to keep doing this stuff.

I love the texturing of the front and back covers. Crazy all you need is to print it differently on the bed. I could see a lot of use cases for that.
Next version, add the D10, it will help with games like D&D.
You should called it the Dice Butler
I really like the little suit design haha
You designed that in TinkerCAD?! Holy shit, impressive work. I would never try such a feat with anything other than a proper CAD program.
The DnD community will build you a monument 👍
it would be cool to add a vibration motor, like the TapTic engine from an iPhone or the HD rumble motors from a Joy-Con, to vibrate when a dice is being rolled
overkill idea: settings menu lets you select the RNG algorithm being used.
Welcome back to the grind! Love your positive take, and I hope the channel continues to grow!
Dude...this is awesome, glad I found ya...what a interesting time we live in...Had to wait since 1980 though but its been a fun ride thus far...I look forward to your other stuff...
