Arduino 7 Segment LED Counter

Same environment with Kali Linux 2.0 and Arduino IDE, this time trying to work on a common anode 7-segment LED display. The 7-segment display consists of 7 segments (A to G) and one dot (DP), to display a number, controlling whether the segment is on or off.


Before building the circuit, testing if the segments are working,




Building the circuit as below:
Connect the seven segment displays pin number 7(A) to arduino pin2 , 6(B) to arduino pin3 , 4 (C) to arduino pin 4 , 2 (D) to arduino pin5 , 1 (E) to arduino pin6 , 9 (F) to arduino pin7 , 10 (G) to arduino pin8 , 5 (DP) to arduino pin9.

Since it's a common anode 7-segment display, when coding, HIGH means off and LOW means on. For example, displaying zero, A to G are ON and G is OFF.
///
void digit0 () {

  digitalWrite(A, LOW);
  digitalWrite(B, LOW);
  digitalWrite(C, LOW);
  digitalWrite(D, LOW);
  digitalWrite(E, LOW);
  digitalWrite(F, LOW);
  digitalWrite(G, HIGH);
};
///




Sample code, just straight forward to hardcode all digits :)

 //7 segment digital display  
 int A = 2;  
 int B = 3;  
 int C = 4;  
 int D = 5;  
 int E = 6;  
 int F = 7;  
 int G = 8;  
 int DP = 9;  
 //common anode 7 -segment digital display  
 //HIGH and LOW should be inverted
