Creative Uses for 7-Segment Displays: From Dice to IoT 🌐

Some “practical” applications for the 7 segment display
•••
Maybe it’s a dice that can be used while playing table top games. Or connect it to the internet and use it as a counter for your online store or social media following. Or of course, you put 4 of them together with the colon separator, add a real time clock module, and you have yourself a fully functioning clock. If you want to get really crazy, add a couple more modules, and you can actually track seconds as well.
