Hi guys. I am assembling my 737 MCP. I want to use 5 of these displays https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152323407921?hash=item23772ec031:g:MKMAAOSw3sRaXuln&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA4PXXMo8BWk%2B3aGrH%2FeujSubWlnTp0l5eT7Eky4iFRrdAyVydvTKHDOt2PCSqdEkO7eEvrsFyYzIHRWBEFB7sa%2Bb0ElZ%2BxsP5aFwa5hVtiCEJIhTnyUGLn5ru7PZa81wz%2FgvsWaGZZ8ii50lLNpptaCmeRZ9Um%2FTHN2w51zLw3yE%2BO6UO2nt2zLF46Hl1Hk0SRNPnOvOCb5C%2BOmrgbMuKhdMlK06SzuFLCHtDHvYBOgoOZcLhySqvgLg75hsGhIapedn1%2F8kMgAYw59eXkKF9WhrUHNtUulPISfTGQPp2uTfJ%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR46esuabYg

But when I install the 5th it tells me that it only allows 4, should I add another Arduino? I didn't want to use 2 USB ports. Thank you

You should be able to daisy chain 8.

Usually fly online as 1W4C
Does NOT use the privacy-violating DISCOGS.

right - I thought that was the issue.

You only need 1 LED7-segment device. And then set the number to 5(your number).

You have a Din-pin and a Dout pin on the display. Connect Dout to Din on the next.
