1Get the board and components
To use this, you'll need to get the gerber files for one of the boards in the files section, and get a manufacturers to make it. If you don't know which one to choose, I usually go for jlcpcb.com
For the components, take care of what you'll need. Usually, you need at least one 5 pin bended header, to connect the board to the controller(arduino, raspberry, ...), 2 x 74HC595, required for all boards, some 220R resistors, in 0805 packages, one per digit used on the board, and some female header pins to plug the display.

3Program a controller, say, an arduino
Once I'll have the library ready, it will get easier, so, I'll leave this blank for now
