Adaptive play device - an alternative to rolling dice. Using an Arduino and three switches. The user in this scenario can use any one of three switches to spin a wheel that will pick a number for him/her. We created it with Chutes and Ladders in mind, but it can be used with any game that requires the player to play a certain number. In this instance the spinner goes up to the number 5, but it can be adapted to go up to any number. It could also potentially be adapted for other games that don't involve numbers. For example, in the case of Candy Land, the user needs to be given a color as a result of his play - the spinning plate could have colors on it instead of numbers.
