I thought you might pick up ideas from the Go Dice page, did you scroll down and see the exploded view. Plus the super cap in place of a battery is an idea I think you could use to your advantage instead of having a battery.
It is terribly well executed. The comment from my son showed that, when he said, "so it is not just engineers that have decided how this looks, but has actual design in it."
He is currently frustrated in his job where marketing and engineers decide on the look and feel of a product with no real understanding between the two and a total lack of any actual aesthetic design. He works for a nationally known brand in electronics.
Would you consider rolling custom 6sided dice and wirelessly transmit the results to the arduino using BLE?
See this here and i can help make the dice physical yet digital at the same time.
Just built it last night. I assume battery will last days as very low power consumption 100mah lipo battery 3.7v. I had it running for one day without turning it off and still worked with plenty of juice.
It can be charged via the 5v usb C port built in to the seeeduino xiao ble sense. It will not go to sleep automatically rather you would just need to turn it on and off when not in use. Might be able to program it but i feel unnecessary at this point with a simple switch on/off.
Still need to figure out a better enclosure with removable lid for repairs or battery swap once in a blue moon. and weight distribution to make a better rolling dice and smoothed corners.
So far i can make as small as 1inch which is rather large to fit three dice in one hand.
It doesn't roll well yet but working out the kinks when i design a new enclosure.
I have a thread on here. Im new so dont know how to share it.
I don't know the game. If one decides to roll one die, must the two other dice remain as they were? Do they still count? If that's the case, I'd like to have a slot machine kind of button set. One hold button with lights for each die and one roll button. This would be answering the question what would be fun to use from the player perspective.
Yes. It will still register the dice if they are not being rolled and sitting still and the dice that is rolled will be updated to the new nuumber
Yes they still will count the three dice total if you want.
This sounds like you want to create a yatzee game. It also sounds like you want just the display of a dice and a button to generate a 'random' number. And another button to keep the dice and then roll the unselected dice. Just like a digital yatzee game. Am i understanding correctly?
The purpose of these dice are that they will be physically picked up and rolled and then the values wirelessly sent to a display.

I appreciate the response and will work on doing better. I got a little excited and enjoy the site and community and will do my best to learn the rules and follow them. I appreciate the feedback.
I appreciate you sharing this. Super capacitor and wireless charging is something i have considered and will look into it now that i have a better understanding from research. Again appreciate your help to look into additional ideas.
