Hello,
I need help making the code for scoreboard that is going on an air hockey table (school project). I am new to the Arduino and have no experience creating code. What I have is 4 7-segmented displays (will have parts no. of each part below)and I need 2 displays to display one score and the other 2 displays to display a different score. In air hockey regulations the first one to 7 wins, I just need these displays to go to 7. Once one set of displays reach 7 can reset to 0. These displays are being controlled by SparkFun Arduino Redboard. I also using Adafruit IR sensors to control what score to display. I have use SparkFun's Large Digit Drive Hookup Guide to get me to at least to display numbers. Link: 'https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/large-digit-driver-hookup-guide
Parts I have:
4- 7-segmented displays- Part NO.: COM-08530 (From SparkFun Website)
4-Large digit driver-Part NO.: WIG-13279 (From SparkFun Website)
1-SparkFun Redboard-Part NO.: DEV-13975 (From SparkFun Website)
2- Adafruit 3mm IR Break Beam Sensors-Part NO.: 2167 (From Adafruit Website)
Any help with setting up the code would be greatly appreciated!
I could post a schematic of the parts, if that would be helpful.
