2. UNDERSTANDING SEVEN-
SEGMENT DISPLAYS
Source:
Seven-Segment Displays, offering a
cost-effective and highly readable
solution for numeric value display.
These displays, ranging from 0.28 to 18
inches, are widely used across
industries, from instruments to space
shuttles. By forward biasing LED
segments, they can efficiently showcase
numbers from 0 to 9, making them ideal
for various applications like counters
and token systems. With their simple yet
effective design, Seven-Segment
Displays remain indispensable in
electronics.

4. TYPES OF SEVEN SEGMENT
DISPLAYS
Source:
Seven segment displays are classified into Common Cathode (CC) and Common
Anode (CA) types, depending on the connection of LED pins to the common pin. In
Common Cathode displays, all cathodes are linked to the common pin, connected to
the ground rail. By applying a high pulse or logic 1 signal, individual LEDs are activated.
Conversely, in Common Anode displays, all anodes are linked to the common pin,
connected to the positive rail. Activation occurs with a low pulse or logic 0 signal.

5. CONNECTING SEVEN SEGMENT
DISPLAY WITH ARDUINO
Source:
1.Connect the display module to the
Arduino according to the circuit diagram
provided.
2.Ensure one of the common pins is
connected to ground and the remaining
pins to digital pins D2 to D9 via a current-
limiting resistor.
3.Install the SevSeg library via the Arduino
IDE's Library Manager.
4.Copy and paste the provided Arduino
example code into a new sketch.
5.Upload the code to the Arduino and
observe the numeric values displayed on
the Seven Segment Display.
