Introduction: Arduino 7-Segment Click Counter

Check out how to make your own 7 segment click counter!!

Step 1: Materials You Will Need:

1x Arduino Board(does not matter which version).

1x BreadBoard.

1x 1 Digit 7 Segment display.

2x Push Buttons.

4x 220 ohm resistors(Will work up to 1K).

16x Male to male jumper wires.

Step 2: Connect the Arduino to the BreadBoard:

Connect as shown in the image above:

Arduino 5V pin to the PLUS of the breadboard.

Arduino GND to the MINUS of the breadboard.

7-Segment pin 8 & 3 to the PLUS of the breadboard through your resistors.

NOTE: if your 7 segment display is a common cathode display, connect pins 8 & 3 of the display to the GND!!

7-Segment pin 1 to Arduino pin 6.

7-Segment pin 2 to Arduino pin 5.

7-Segment pin 4 to Arduino pin 4.

7-Segment pin 5 to Arduino pin 7.

7-Segment pin 6 to Arduino pin 2.

7-Segment pin 7 to Arduino pin 3.

7-Segment pin 9 to Arduino pin 8.

7-Segment pin 10 to Arduino pin 9.

Connecting the buttons:

connect one side of the button to the PLUS of the breadboard;

connect the other side through a resistor to the GND of the breadboard, and to Arduino pin 12.

Do that for the second button and connect it to Arduino pin 13.

Step 3: The Code:

Download the code and insert it to arduino IDE, and have fun!!
