/* Make Projects: How to Drive a 7 Segment LED URL: By: Riley Porter This is an introduction on how to drive a 7 Segment

LED using only a Arduino. This is not the best way to do this. This is meant to be a learning excercise. In later tutorials I will show you how to use an dedicated IC using SPI or a Shift Register. Enjoy. digitalWrite(8, HIGH) = turn off the "A" segment in the LED display digitalWrite(9, LOW) = turn on the "B" segment in the LED display */ /* This numbers #define #define #define #define #define #define #define */ piece wasn't working, lots of weird errors, so I changed to the real pin A B C D E F G 8 9 2 3 4 5 6
