I was curious about how the digital segments were mapped so I wrote a little sketch to figure it out. Since I’m new to the language, I started with the digital clock, stripped out what I wouldn’t need and started from there. Hope you enjoy.

// Quick sketch to show use of digital segments.

//RTC Stuff
#include “RTClib.h” // Include RTClib library
RTC_DS1307 rtc; // Create an instance of the DS1307

//DIGITISER Stuff

const int OE = 10;
const int SER = 3;
const int CLK = 4;
const int LATCH = 5;

const int sw1 = A0;
const int sw2 = A2;
const int Pot = A1;

int potRead = 0;
int potDimVal = 0;

int num = 0;

const int digit[4] =
{
B00001110,B00001101,B00001011,B00000111
};

int digit0 = digit[0];
int digit1 = digit[1];
int digit2 = digit[2];
int digit3 = digit[3];

// Segment comments
// The segments in each Digit display are addressed using a simple
// switch matrix. Using 1 byte – each bit represents or addresses a single
// segment of the display. A one is off and a zero is on.
// Likewise each digit is selected using the switch matrix above these comments
// with using binary one through 4.

// The list below shows which bit turns on which segment.
// Below the list is the content of the seg constant which places them in
// the order of All off then rotating starting with the dot, lower left, upper left
// etc. ending with the center segment then all on.

const int seg[10]=
{

// B01111111 is Center Segment
// B10111111 is Upper Left Segment
// B11011111 is Top Segment

// B11110111 is Dot in Lower Right
// B11111011 is Lower Right Segment
