maybe i’m blind, but I cannot find an explanation of what pin is what for the life of me! I understand that of the 16 pins, 8 are the 7segments abcdef+decimal, 4 are the digits, 1 is the colon, and 1...

A friend of mine did that for a science fair project, way back in the 1970s. He built a combination photovoltaic generator/concentrator and water heater. It was small scale, but it worked!

This feels like a silly question but I’m a beginner… but how many of these buttons can the Arduino Uno’s pins handle? One button connector to the ground and the other on a digital pin per button?

It’s tricky to see, but if you look at the back of the display, through the clear epoxy, to the little circuit board within, you should be able to make out a “1” by pin 1, and a “16” by pin 16. These...
