I had a 4-digit 7-segment LED display and did not know what to do with it. After seeing the clock contest, I decided to use it for a digital clock. So, here is how I created my clock.

Connect all twelve wires to the raspberry pi and the breadboard. After that, tape the wires under the breadboard to keep them away from the LED display.
