I have an arduino project and I need to run three seven segment displays with a potentiometer and the numbers it gives should be 0.90-0.83 like numbers can you help me?

Yes. What help do you need?
I need code
Hello murps
This is a nice project to get started.
Keep it simple and stupid firstly.
Follow the example code that comes with the library or
run some tutorials for the hardware selected.
If you are happy with the results of the tutorials you can merge these to your project.
Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.
Correct.
You must write code. We will help.
You also need to draw a schematic. We can help with that also.
Please post a link to the specs of your display(s).
Which you have failed to do. You posted a physical layout diagram.
I note that you have NO current limiting resistors nor any drivers for the common segments.
This is a diagram for a seven segment common Anode display.
This diagram will be different if you have a common cathode display. Which do you have?

i don't have them i just have this circuit and potentiometer 10k ohm
That's all the information shared with me
Start your code by connecting one segment of your 7-segment LEDs and making it turn-on/turn-off with your potentiometer. If you get stuck, ask any question. Connecting and controlling many LEDs like this is very similar to connecting and controlling one LED.
I don't understand this at all and it doesn't seem possible to do it by trying without someone's help, I tried more than once, but I couldn't get any results.
@murps I don't think you are at all ready for this simple project. Learn about driving LEDs and other basic electronics and come back with some more specific questions. Coming here and asking for "code" is ridiculous.
@jmulder88 I think you misunderstood me. I already set up a circuit with the potentiometer, I also worked with the seven-section screen, I just don't know what to do in such a project to connect the two.
Set up what circuit? You posted a picture of an arduino and some wires but what does it mean? You need to experiment first and come here with specific questions that we can help you with. Just asking for someone to write code for you isn't going to get you anywhere.
I know this is not in a workplace or anything else, I asked to learn my purpose of asking for the code, can anyone do it, can such a thing be done and with what codes it is very bad that you are prejudiced against me
No one pre-judges here. Even you. You asked for help. Your information was read and you were given help. It is your turn to use that information. How would you like to proceed?
thank you and I'm trying I only reply to people who want to help those who don't want to help don't have to help I just don't like it written to me like that
Okay... time for fun (making your project work).
Please, read through all the posts that gave you points to address (advice about your information) and if you do not understand a point, ask a question about it. Sometimes the hardest question to ask is "what question should I ask?" Do not let that stop you.
Thanks have a good day
yes i think you are right i have a lack of knowledge i am trying to close it thank you for your help
