Greetings everyone!
I'm working on a personal project, but I'm having some trouble designing a random signal generator, so I figured this forum was a good place to start.
I need to construct a (pseudo)random signal generator connected to a 18 DIP alphanumeric LED display. The process would as follows:
1. Press a button
2. Generate a random arrangement of segments (not numbers or characters)
3. Keep the generated arrangement on the screen until the button is pressed again
I've found several designs for random signal generators online:
https://electronicsclub.info/p_random.htm
https://makezine.com/projects/really-really-random-number-generator/
but none that I can use. I'm hoping to fit all the circuitry into a tiny 2x2x2 in cube, but I admit that it may be a pipe dream...
I know next to nothing when it comes to circuits (I've never even owned a breadboard), but I've wanted to build this contraption for a long time, so I'd appreciate any and all ideas on how to make this thing.
Thanks!
