Anyway, I still don't understand how to connect the Arduino with the display!
Could you please tell me which is the mapping between the Arduino pins and display's ones?
Hi, I have the same 4 digit Seven Segment Display (bought from another supplier - not Sparkfun, but its the same module). The vendor where I bought it mentioned on his website that the pinouts are wrong in the datasheet you mentioned (got the same datasheet as well - but its wrong).
Note: The pinout in the datasheet is incorrect. This is the correct pin-out:
1: Digit 1 16: B
2: Digit 2 15: G
3: D 14: A
4: Colon Anode 13: C
5: E 12: Colon Cathode
6: Digit 3 11: F
7: Decimal Point 10:Apostrophe Anode
8: Digit 4 9: Apostrophe Cathode
