well, 9 is for the dot if i wanted to use it, which i don't - i have no need for it... i checked my connections, they seem fine.. will check another led.. i bought 2 of them.. lol
yep, confirmed... used a second one without resistors this time... same no change and everything is hooked up as you stated:
Arduino Pin your display
2 resistor 14
3 resistor 13
4 resistor 8
5 resistor 7
6 resistor 6
7 resistor 2
8 resistor 1
ground 12 & 4
0,2 and 3 are the only ones messing up...
