Using this 4-digit 7 - segment display is easy. First, connect it to your circuit through the sixteen through - hole pins. Make sure to provide a forward voltage of 3.4VDC and don't exceed the max forward current of 20mA to avoid damaging the LEDs. When you power it on, you can control each digit's decimal point, as well as the apostrophe and colon points individually. If you want to change the display's look, we have the same display in red, green, and yellow. To keep it in good condition, avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or physical shocks. Refer to the datasheet (YSD - 439AB4B - 35) and display example code if you run into any issues or need more detailed information.
