Hello there!
I'm fairly new to the more "software" side of Arduino (I've built several robots with it LMR FTW) and I'm trying to make a 7 segment display (1 digit) show the time. I'd like it to show the first digit of the hour, second digit of the hour, first digit of the minute, and the second digit of the minute when I press a button (on pin 1). The pins for the 7 segment are as follows: 2,3,4,5,6,7,8, and 9. I basically mashed two example codes, got rid of the icky stuff, and made myself a sort of core. Ultimately, I'd like to transpose this onto my ATtiny 44A and make a wrist watch out of it (After some pin changes). The code can already keep time, send it to the serial port, and receive time changes using UNIX time stamps. It already has the codes set up for displaying numbers 1 through 9 on the seven segment. It has all been tested up to there. So, do you think you can help me finish the code? Fabulous! Thanks a bunch!
#include <Time.h>
#define TIME_MSG_LEN 11 // time sync to PC is HEADER followed by Unix time_t as ten ASCII digits
#define TIME_HEADER 'T' // Header tag for serial time sync message
#define TIME_REQUEST 7 // ASCII bell character requests a time sync message
// T1262347200 //noon Jan 1 2010

int buttonState = 0;
byte seven_seg_digits[10][7] = { { 1,1,1,1,1,1,0 }, // = 0
{ 0,1,1,0,0,0,0 }, // = 1
{ 1,1,0,1,1,0,1 }, // = 2

pctime = (10 * pctime) + (c - '0') ; // convert digits to a number
}

//addition to BOTH of the codes; a sort of marriage between them.

If you have read all the way to here, you're the best <3 :*
