This is a little higher level, created a function to make it much easier to use a 3 bit seven segment display. It uploads to the arduino just fine, I added a blink to pin 13 and the on board led flashes, so it is something wrong with the code. This is what I have, I have commented on the side of the array which number it shows. I have the 20401. I don't have a decimal point option yet, eventually I will add one.
Magnitude is which digit is turned on. This should turn on a digit then turn it off, then go to the next digit, etc. etc.
