Dice

After a depressing day, I wanted to make something cool. I had a project that was in my mind for about a year. I've actually tried this before, but I failed and incinerated some diodes. This is somewhat a comeback.   I heavily used the schematic from the Electronics Club. This place has some awesome and simple projects waiting for electronic hobbyists. I thought there should be some more visuals to this project, so I added a 555 monostable circuit to keep scrolling through these numbers until the monostable circuit stops. I also added some potentiometers instead of the resistors for the 'scrolling' speed control. Tip: facial tissue is a good light diffuser. So to get things straight: 555 Monostable ---> 555 Astable ---> 4017 Counter [that resets after 6 counts]   There aren't much changes to the original schematic, but if you can't figure it out yourself, give me an email or comment (I'm lonely).
