How to connect Seven Segment Display with Spatran 3e starter kit

[moonnightingale]

Today i purchased 4 digit seven segment Display. I am having both common cathode and common anode display.
How can i connect this with my Spatran 3e as it is having LCD and i dont want to jump directly to LCD. At present i am using 8 LEDs and now i am confident to use them. Now i want to use seven segment.

Somebody told me to use IOs of board and connect seven segment to it externally. I could not find any material on it in Spatran 3E manual
Kindly help me

mrflibble,I think i was not clear in my question.
I know how to code seven segment display.
What all i need is that i want to know how can i physically connect this external seven segment display with my FPGA Starter kit.

Ah okay, I guess I totally misunderstood you. Allow me to adjust my reply. I am positive that with a little work and original thought this new link will provide all the information required.

Actually , you should check again, because the provided link has the actual connection between the led display and the FPGA pins, this is what you asked for.
Are you confused because you have 4 digits, look at the next page of the above link fpga4fun.com - LED multiplexing

Well spotted. "Kindly check again" seems to be the appropriate response.

*cough* resistors *cough* right there on the first link. And on the second link too come to think about it.

You can thank me later when you appreciate the irony.
