Intro: 1-4 Digit Arduino Counter
This project is ideal to understand the logic of work of a counter by utilizing Arduino code since you have available 4 programs: 1 for 1-digit, 1 for 2-digit, 1 for 3-digit, and
other for 4-digit counter with one single 4-digit panel. Here, you can upload the code from 1, 2, 3, or 4 digits according to what you want to use. The main components to
this kit are a 4-digit panel and 7 resistors while the star that produces the magical result is an Arduino Uno.. Video for this project in the following link:
