display.begin(SSD1306_SWITCHCAPVCC, OLED_SCREEN_I2C_ADDRESS);
display.display();
delay(2000);

display.clearDisplay();
display.setCursor(0, 0);
display.setTextSize(1); // - a line is 21 chars in this size
display.setTextColor(WHITE);

// set up the 7-segment display This will also do the buttons!
module.clearDisplay();
module.setupDisplay(true, 2);

}

void loop()
{
//Code for the screen
display.clearDisplay();
display.setCursor(0, 0);

display << "Now is the winter" << endl;
display << "of our discontent" << endl;
display << "made glorious summer" << endl;
display << "by this son of York." << endl;

display.display();
delay(5000);

display.clearDisplay();
display.display();
delay(5000);

//code for 7 segment display
for (int i = 0; i < 255; i++)
{
module.setDisplayToDecNumber(i, 0, false);
delay(100);
}

//code for 7 segment buttons

buttons = module.getButtons(); // read which buttons are pressed
module.setDisplayToDecNumber(buttons, 0, false); // output the decimal number represented by the buttons
}

my screen displays the test message, and the 7 segment clock also counts up from 0 to 255 but when i press the buttons on the 7 segment board nothing happens why?!

Debug prints?

Please remember to use code tags when posting code

Your code has ~35 seconds of delays in it. You may have to hold your buttons down for a long time before they are noticed.

Edit: Grammar

Sorry I didnt know, I will do that for future reference, it compiles with no error messages so I dont know what to do

Repeating myself from another thread this morning:

This is a classic use for millis in the form of the IDE's blink without delay example or Robin2's Doing several things at once thread.

If you want your code to be responsive to your buttons, the delays have to go. But you can use the above techniques to emulate them.
