Hi, I like this porject. I am new to Arduino and I want to use this and turn it into a countdown timer. Can you assist me with the coding? I would really appreciate you assistance. Thanks for sharing.

I don't see any current limiting resistor, UNO has max of 40 mA per pin. 4 LEDs per segment at max would be around 80mA per segment. Also an UNO has max total of 200mA for all pins combined. Also a digit of up to 7 segment will draw even more power, if a single digit display an 8, that is a bit over 1/2 amp! The display seems to work as drawn on schematic but the pin will eventually burn out from overdriving. If I was to design this, I would have used resistor on each LED since not all LED are perfectly equal, one faulty LED can draw more and leave other LED very dim. Then use a transistor, bipolar PNP or P-channel MOSFET on each of the digit common to 5v source so Arduino would only need a few mA per digit to drive.
