Controlling a Seven-Segment Display Using Arduino Part 3

The second sketch cycles through the numbers from 0 to 9, but only increments the display counter each time a button is pressed. Note that this code includes simple debouncing by introducing a short delay when the Arduino detects that the button has been pressed.

Sketch #2:

// Natalia Fargasch Norman
// Seven-segment LED Display
// Common Anode pins 3 and 8

//   G F + A B
//   | | | | |   -> pins and segments they control
//   ---------
//  F|   A   |B
//   |---G---|   -> segments
//  E|   D   |C
//   ---------
//   | | | | |   -> pins and segments they control
//   E D + C DP

// Segments that make each number when lit:
// 0 => ABCDEF
// 1 => BC
// 2 => ABDEG
// 3 => ABCDG
// 4 => BCFG
// 5 => ACDFG
// 6 => ACDEFG
// 7 => ABC
// 8 => ABCDEFG
// 9 => ABCDFG

// corresponding segments on the LED display

// on when pin is low

#define ON LOW
#define OFF HIGH
