Can somebody please give me some advice or something? I really need help here!

Last I heard, you didn't need serial or ICSP in your project, so you just needed to hook up the appropriate digital I/O lines with some resistors and transistors, and you had figured out how to do it... except that maybe you decided to change your mind and try some irrelevant things (like analogWrite). I'm not sure what you're asking. Shouldn't you go back and do it digitally, as you had already intended to?

Alright, this time I've figured it out for real. It turns out that you can use the analog pins as general I/O pins. Problem solved!

As for the analogWrite thing, I was confused about the function of analogWrite. But now I finally figured it out.

Thanks for the help guys.

Okay so I figured out how I'm going to do it but I've hit a snag with the programming............it doesn't work right.

Here's the finished code.
I don't know what part is wrong, but it's probably in 'void charAssign.'
If you could please take a look at it and see if you can tell what is wrong. (btw, I know it's probably not the best or the most efficient code, but only learned how to program 2 years ago when I was in 7th grade)

Hey, sorry for that grossly huge post.

I fixed the display part of the code but now it is going WAAAAY too fast. Like 10 minutes on the clock for every second in real time.

I mad a slight modification to the clock function, here it is: (btw, the reason that tens only goes up to 3 is because 3B in Hex is equal to 59 in decimal, but you guys probably already knew that.)

I might suggest that you only want to call millis() ONCE in your loop, to avoid possible error buildup. Also, are you actually setting previousMillis anywhere?

Oh yeah, woops. I did forget to set previousMillis. That weird cause I swear I had that in there.

Okay it's working now, thanks a lot!
