i am doing experiment 9 which is the digital die. i have completed it but now i want to put two dice on it. how do i make the two dice show·different numbers. because right now i have two dice working but they always show the same numbers what should i change to make them show different random numbers?

If you want to light two of the 7-segment displays on the NX-1000 (or PDB) then you must multiplex them -- StampWorks experiment 10 shows how.· To get random values for the dice, simply tumble the RANDOM function until a button is pressed.· To get the values for a set of dice you could do this:

· die1 = rndVal.BYTE0 // 6 + 1
· die2 = rndVal.BYTE1 // 6 + 1

The variable rndVal is a Word that is mixed up by the RANDOM function.
