This project is about to use four CD4543 "BCD-to-Seven-Segment" drivers to drive four 7-Segment elements; the drivers
are driven by an Arduino Micro (any microcontroller board with enough I/O pins can be used for this).
The Arduino source code, images of my prototype, a socket (to hold the assembled board; STL for 3D printing) and the circuit (as PDF) can be downloaded here.
