7 segement display homemade big huge addressable Arduino

7 Segments - code
Help me by sharing this post
Below you have the code for the 7 segments display test. The code will hAve a few examples to show characters, numbers and also control each segment separatelly. We have two voids for that. One is to show an entire character or number and the other is to control each segment separatelly. Downlaod the code from below and also the Adafruit library from the next link.
