What is it?

This is a DIY SMD soldering kit.

On this set of dice, the LEDs are controlled by an ATTINY 13 using charlieplexing. Code is uploaded to the device with AVR dude using a Bus Pirate, a AVRisp mk II or similar. It is not Arduino compatible. Code comes preloaded onto the microcontroller.

Soldering The Dice

Materials

7 110 Ohm resistors
1 capacitor
14 LEDs
1 ATtiny13A
1 button
1 battery holder
1 coin cell battery (not included for all shipping destinations)

To solder the shield follow these steps:

Solder on all 14 LEDs paying attention to the LED orientation on the silkscreen.
Solder the capacitor onto the PCB.
Solder the resistors onto the PCB.
Solder the battery holder onto the PCB.
Solder the ATtiny13A onto the PCB.
Solder the button onto the PCB.

Why did you make it?

I designed this so that my nieces and nephews could play games on long road trips, without dropping the dice under the drivers seat. They are also useful on long train rides.
