Created by the Ruiz Brothers and published to the Adafruit learning resources the dice roller has been designed to enable people who need accessibility tech to “roll” the dice. The automatic dice roller is equipped with an arcade button and motor which enable the dice to be rolled by the simple tap of a button and is also equipped with a TRS Jack Connector.
