Multilingual speaking electronic dice

Electronic assembly using a TMS5100
(Texas Instruments Voice Synthesis)

Presentation

This assembly is the modernized version of a talking electronic dice, described a long time ago, in a review of 1982.

This is a system that randomly generates numbers 1 to 6, which are both displayed on a display and announced by voice.

The speech synthesis is carried out by a TMS5100 circuit and the sentences are stored in an EEPROM. Two DIP switches allow you to choose the language: French, English, Dutch or German.

Signal conversion and display management are carried out by a specifically programmed GAL circuit.

To be able to read these memories, we have developed a small adapter module that can be used with the NG test bench.
