| 7 | Use this skill when you need to: |
| 8 | - Display text in digital/LED display format (like digital clocks, calculators, or instrument panels) |
| 9 | - Implement seven-segment, fourteen-segment, or sixteen-segment character displays |
| 10 | - Show numeric values with a retro or industrial visual style |
| 11 | - Create digital counters, timers, or scoreboards |
| 12 | - Display alphanumeric data in 8×8 dot matrix format |
| 13 | - Build dashboard components with digital readouts |
| 14 | - Implement status indicators with LED-style characters |
| 15 | |
| 16 | ## Component Overview |
| 17 | |
| 18 | The DigitalGauge provides four different character segment types: |
| 19 | - **7-segment**: Best for displaying numbers and limited uppercase letters |
| 20 | - **14-segment**: Displays numbers and full alphabet |
| 21 | - **16-segment**: Clear display of numbers and alphabet |
