## Warning
14+
When using AutoPlex7, (or any other direct seven segment display controller software) it is extremely important to use a current limiting resistor in your circuit. Failure to do this can and will damage both the microcontroller and display. With a 5V supply, it is advised to use a resistor of at least 270 ohms on the segment pins.
