Let's Workshop: LC Tech 4 Digit 7 Segment Parallel Display

/*
  A simple program designed to setup and demonstrate the 7 SEGMENT PARALLEL LED MODULE - BCAA100021

  The program selects a digit and segment in order and light it. 
  Once looped, it will change to the next digit and repeat.

  The program uses the SevSeg library to count up to 1000, 
  display an animation and count back down to 0. Then repeat
