The Raspberry Pi Pico has proven to be an exceptionally capable microcontroller and many makers turn to it when they need to make something unique. If you can't find what you're looking for on the market, why not create it for yourself? That's exactly what maker and developer Hiro has done with his latest project, the Dicemaster 2000. This Pico-powered project is a handheld dice roller that Hiro explains is a gift for a friend who is slowly losing their sight.
The Dicemaster 2000 looks like a red video game controller. It has a series of buttons that have been 3D printed with braille. The buttons are used to set up your hand with different dice options. You can decide how many you're throwing, how many sides each die has and the Dicemaster 2000 will automatically tally your throw for you.
