Here is a simple, yet useful circuit of an Arduino 4-digit 7-segment LED display unit. ... And, driver transistors are recommended to provide additional driving current to the LED segments, because ...

Each MAX7219 can control up to 64 individual LEDs or 8 seven-segment displays. By using these driver ICs, ... a digital clock made out of 144 seven-segment displays controlled by an Arduino Nano.

Here, a common cathode 7-segment LED display is connected to Arduino for displaying the digits. The code (Arduino sketch) allows push button increment of the counter from 0 to 9. The whole circuit can ...

It just use a 7 segment SPI driver like MAX7221? Or have I missed something? ... This pushes an Arduino to its limit, you can do very little besides control the WS2811 with a single Arduino.

Sometimes you need to display a number nice and large, making it easily readable at a good distance. [Lewis] has just the thing for that: a big expandable 7-segment display. The build is modular, a… ...
