This is the initial version of my 7-segment hardware test and software demo project. This project will also be the starting point for the EE- 2905 Week 10 lab practical.

/*
    Project: 21_BC_Improved_v5 (Improved Binary Counter (while loop) Version)
    File: main.cpp
    
    Displays 8-bit binary count on bar graph display. This version uses a while 
    loop which provides a much better starting point for an Up/Down counter.
    
    Error in pow function use corrected in v. 1.0.
    
    Note: I tried to use count for the loop counter but this resulted in an 
    ambiguous name error.
