Hey!
First of all, i'we never had any cind of training in coding, so this maybe could be better one, but it works enought well so i didn't start filing it too much.
Also, my experience with arduino/coding in total time is around 1 month. So please bear with me! Of course, feedback is welcome!
But anyhow, video tells it pretty well it works, only thing that bothers me personally is that ghost image from multiplexing(?), i'd gladly hear tricks to counter it.
Also, i used 4-bit counting via 4543 IC to reduce required arduino pins somewhat. This however makes it difficult to display characters, but they weren't required now.

hey fez: Your video isn't visible. You code didn't implement inter-digit blanking. What;s that? You have to turn OFF all of the digits for a short time, before setting the segments to display on the next digit. Been there, done that, circa. early 1980's

Hey! strange, video works fine for me, and it said on facebook that anyone who has access to link is able to see video. What do you mean by inter-digit blanking?
fezder, September 09, 2014
i changed code little bit, i thought i cleared Segments between counts, but seems it wasn't excactly that, i only disabled them, but now ghost image is gone when it sends ''0000'' between reads HUGE thanks, so little change :)

Not on FB. Blanking, inter-digit blanking and leading zero blanking are terms used in display terminology. So, now you know what inter-digit blanking is.

Ah, thanks! so, from where would be the best way to link video to here? youtube?

Probably. I'm "watching" this blog, but I don;t get alerts.

another strange thing, i get alerts every time, like normally? :O

KISS, sorry for delay, i changed privacy settings for video, is it now visible?
