I built something like this about 16 years ago. It was 16mmx16mm with a 7x7 bi-color 0403 SMT led array on each side running on a 2xNiMh coin cells and a Motorola PIC18F??? MCU and an analog devices accelerometer. No wifi. The boards were fabricated at home. I ended up with too dim of a display due to the low battery voltage and eventually blew up the MCU and abandoned it. This video mades me think it might be time to revive it.

[@zc2ndbass]

That's really cool. Might make a dice program for it. So when you roll the cube it only ligjt just a few leds

[@pauldavis2108]

@@zc2ndbass An electronic dice was what I was going for. You could roll any number from 0-99 on it. You woke the dice by giving it a good shake. It ran in the lowest power mode waking every 3 seconds, checking the accelerometer for orientation change before going back to sleep. Once awake you could select the value of the device by rotating it up and down with the number displayed incrementing/decrementing by one for each 90 degree rotation. A quick vertical shake would lock in the number. You'd then roll it and it would display the number rolled on in red on all sides. The sides would then slowly dim and relight in green with the number the roll was out of (so you couldn't cheat) before the entire dice would dim and go back to sleep.

Cutting your paper on your melanine desk without a scrap board beneath seems not to be a good idea to me.

Great result in the end, too. :-)

[@bobbertbobby3975]

this has prolly been said but.. I would like it if the cube would have programming in it so that it worked like a dice. Since it can tell when it has come to a stop and can tell which side is up..can you add code so that it displays a dice number the way it would look when you roll a dice? so it starts off not lit up at all..you roll it and whn it stops the side thats up lights up with a random value between 1 and 6 like a set of dice.
