Elektor Neon Lamp Dice

Description

A Retro Roll with a Neon Soul

LED-based dice are common, but their light is cold. Not so for this electronic neon dice, which displays its value with the warm glow of neon lamps. It is perfect for playing games on cold, dark winter evenings. The pips of the dice are neon lamps and the random number generator has six neon lamps to show that it is working.

Even though the dice has an on-board 100-V power supply, it is completely safe. As with all Elektor Classic products, the dice too has its circuit diagram printed on the front while an explanation of how the circuit works can be found on the rear side.

The Neon Lamp Dice comes as a kit of easy-to-solder through-hole parts. The power supply is a 9-V battery (not included).

      106 Tausend Volt

      Hallo Elektor Redaktion,
      ich habe gerade beim anschauen des Videos schon schmunzeln müssen. Dass eine KI jetzt alles vorliest ist schon Bemerkenswert, das sie aber die Betriebsspannung der Neon Lampen 106000 Volt angibt ist schon lustig.

      Ein sehr guter und preisgünstiger Bausatz, Funktion ist etwas mager.
      Trotzdem wünsch ich mir noch mehr solcher Bausätze.

      Mit freundlichen Grüßen aus Wien
