Task 6: Seven-Segment Display (Week 8)

Objective:
- Revisit the knowledge points that we have studied.
- Get to know the operation of a device by reading its manual and/or other material. Specifically in this task, get to know the operation of the seven-segment LED display.
- Start a design from its block diagram.
- Model each block, and
- Model the entire circuit that drives the seven-segment LED display.
