Description
It’s an Electronic Dice Game using 8051 microcontroller (Have a Peek Here). It is an interesting and basic learning project for student and hobbies. It describes how can we interface 8051 port pins for input and output.

Detail
It is a project that builds microcontroller programming interest in new student and hobbies. This project is a very simple one that can easily be built by new students. It uses 7 LEDs, 8051 microcontroller and an optional 5V power supply regulator part. It’s algorithm is also very simple.
1) Initially microcontroller displays 1 on LEDs display just like in real dice.
2) Then in main while loop it waits for switch attached to pin 0 of port 1 to be pressed.
3) Until switch remains pressed it generates random number from 1 to 6 and displays it on LEDs.
4) When button is released it generates and display a new random number on LEDs.
5) It repeats from step 2 to step 5 until power is applied to the system.

This code can also be executed on AT89C2051 microcontroller a small brother of AT89C51.
