5 & 8 Digit Counter for Arduino Nano PART NO. 2201834

This project can be constructed on a breadboard because with a pair of 4x7-Segment LED Display and an Arduino Nano, you cancreate a 5 & 8 Digit Arduino Counter by uploading two programs: for 5 and 8 Digit Arduino counter code, you will have 2 in 1 project.

It's basic for the project.

7 690700 Resistor Carbon Film 220 Ohm 1/4 Watt 5% (In Bags of 10 and 100)

It's necessary for the project.

1 2121148 Arduino Nano V3.0

It's the brain of this project.

1 673694 Black USB-A Male to USB-mini B Male 5-pin Cable, 6 feet

It's necessary for this project.

Step 1 - You will use:

1 x Breadboard1 x Arduino Nano2 x 4x7 Segment LED Display7 x Resistors of 220 Ohm, 1/4 Watt1 x USB-A to USB-Mini Cable

Step 2 - Project's Diagram

It's vital that the project's diagram be followed in detail to prevent errors.

Step 3 - Installing the 2x4-Seven Segment LED Display

It's necessary that the 2x4-Seven Segment LED Display be installed on the breadboard by leaving the enough space for the rest ofthe components.

Step 4 - Install the Resistors

It's imperative that the resistors be installed by leaving enough space between these and the Arduino Nano that you are going toinstall also.

Step 5 - Installing the Arduino Nano

Install the Arduino Nano by leaving enough space for the rest of the connections.

Step 6 - Carry Out the Rest of the Connections

It's necessary that all connections marked in the project's diagram be realized so that you can carry out a successful project.
