An Electronic, Battery-less Dice

Update: A complete Instructable for this is here: Faraday For Fun: An Electronic Batteryless Dice

A Microcontroller, AVR Tiny13 based electronic dice, that does not use any battery or any normal power source. Instead it derives its power from a voltage generator based on the Faraday principle using a coil wound over a tube and a magnet inside the tube. To use the dice, just shake the circuit a few times and it produces a random number between 1 and 6 and displays it on the LEDs. Background music: Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel
