Random number generator circuit

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the construction of a random number generator circuit, exploring various methods and resources for implementation. It includes both theoretical and practical approaches to generating random numbers.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests guidance on building a random number generator circuit and seeks links or tutorials.
  • Another participant provides a link to a document related to Intel's random number generator.
  • A suggestion is made to use pseudo-random number generation techniques involving shift registers with EXOR feedback, accompanied by a link to a relevant project document.
  • There is a mention of using a white noise generator for random number generation, with a suggestion to search for images online.
  • One participant notes that gambling machines utilize fluctuating dark currents to create random seeds for pseudorandom number generators and reiterates the use of random.org as a source for random numbers.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants present various methods and resources for generating random numbers, but there is no consensus on a single approach or solution. Multiple competing views remain regarding the best techniques and sources.

Contextual Notes

Some suggestions depend on specific applications, such as networked devices or gambling machines, which may limit their general applicability. The discussion does not resolve the effectiveness or suitability of the proposed methods.

Who May Find This Useful

Individuals interested in electronics, circuit design, or random number generation techniques may find this discussion relevant.

Depending on what you want it for.. use google images to find white noise generator.

I know it's not in the spirit of the question but if you were building some sort of networked device you might be able to get your random numbers from a website like this.. http://www.random.org/
 
Gambling machines use fluctuating dark currents to generate random seeds for a pseudorandom number generators.

random.org also a source of random numbers.
