Hi CrossRoads
Thanks a lot for all your help. The circuit is finally working :). You are a legend.
I am attaching the final working version for anyone else's reference.
Just wondering if you can help point me in the right direction for the next bit that I want to do with my seven segment display. Basically my display is a clock module with four seven segment displays. I have figured out the code for countdown timer. But I ultimately want to control the clock using a networking shield attached to a wireless router. Could you possibly point in the direction of some good tutorials that can get me up to speed with this.
Regards
T
