1. Introduction
Problem Statement
A seven-segment display is a widely used electronic component for displaying numerical digits (0-9) and some
alphabetic characters. Each segment consists of an LED that can be individually controlled to form different
digits. The challenge is to design a circuit using an Arduino microcontroller to correctly illuminate the segments
to display numbers from 0 to 9.
Objectives
• To understand the working principle of a seven-segment display.
• To design a circuit that interfaces a seven-segment display with an Arduino.
• To write an Arduino program to control the display of digits (0-9).
• To simulate and verify the circuit using Tinkercad.
Arduino Code:
• Define segment pins in an array.
• Create a lookup table (array) for each digit’s segment configuration.
• Loop through digits 0-9 with a delay between each.
• Sample Arduino Code (Common Cathode):

4. Design Approach
Truth Table (Common Cathode)
Each digit (0-9) requires specific segments to be turned ON (1) or OFF (0).
5. Implementation (Code Explanation)
Arduino Code:
unsigned const int A = 13;
unsigned const int B = 12;
unsigned const int C = 11;
unsigned const int D = 10;
unsigned const int E = 9;
unsigned const int F = 8;
unsigned const int G = 7;
unsigned const int H = 6;

6. Simulation Results Observations:
• The seven-segment display successfully cycles through digits 0-9.
• Each digit is displayed clearly with the correct segments lit. Output Screenshots:
7. Conclusion
Challenges Faced:
• Incorrect wiring initially caused some segments not to light up.
• Had to adjust resistor values to ensure proper brightness.
Learning Outcomes:
• Gained hands-on experience in interfacing a seven-segment display with Arduino.
• Learned how to use truth tables for digital logic control.
• Improved skills in circuit simulation using Tinkercad. Future Improvements:
• Use a shift register to reduce the number of Arduino pins used.
• Implement a 4-digit seven-segment display for more complex applications.
