This is a Starpoint dice mechanism designed for use in slot machines (fruit machines in the UK). It has a stepper motor driving the dice cup directly, and a gearing system that spins the dice within the cup while also ensuring that an optical sensor is activated on every three turns during which all six dice faces are displayed.
Can someone get me two of these units?
have u still got this lol i have the coin pusher for this but im missing the dices
Well as interesting as it looks, I was waiting for you to open it up, so we can see the mechanism of how the dice works.
imagine a numerical display with a D10 instead of a cube, that would be cool, like a whole bunch of D10s
Someone should build a clock with these
could almost make a disco light thingiemebober out of it 😛
Suzo Happ bought Starpoint Electrics Ltd. and they are still making these.
I've seen a few of those and I believe it lights up too…
cant you rig it up to show us it in working order using an audino ?
Five-hundred and first comment!
I want one of those. . I have absolutely no need, or immediate use in mind. . But I want it. xD
