Bomb Countdown

hi guys

please me.

im stuck in project, trying make countdowntimer prop bomb.

i have been doing lot of trial , error code, quite messy, sorry☺

i´m using 8 digits 7 segment display spreading out minutes, seconds , tenths leaving 1 digit off in between each make better.

the countdown starts @ "4 59 00" after 10 seconds delay. stops @ "01 02 10"

everything looks fine, can me make stop at  "00 02 10" instead?

thank you☺

and code:

code: [select]

#include <ledcontrol.h>    //we cant without importing suitable library!

// lets start pinouts max72xx led driver
// *****************************************************

int din = 7;              // pin 1  on max72xx
int clk = 6;              // pin 13 on max72xx
int loadcs = 5;           // pin 12 on max72xx

int flashdelay = 100;      // delay in ms (100=1/10th second)
int ledbrightness = 15;    // range 0-15.  0=lowest, 15 = full power

// define ledcontrol instance - if want more can setup lc2, lc3 etc
// ************************************************************************

ledcontrol lc=ledcontrol(din,clk,loadcs,1);    // din, clk, load/cs, 1 = 1 chip max chip attached.

void setup()                   
{
  pinmode(din, output);        // once only, lets make pins outputs
  pinmode(clk, output);
  pinmode(loadcs, output);

  // take pins out of power save mode.  no updates otherwise.
  for(int index=0;index<lc.getdevicecount();index++) {
    lc.shutdown(index,false);
  }

  lc.setintensity(0,ledbrightness  ); //set brightness
 
  delay(10000);                  // delay
  int row = 0;                  //set starting position
  int chipid = 0;               //this not strictly reqd, if using more 1 display needed

  // first lets display hours

}
}}}
void loop()                     // here comes stuff, main loop!
{}


if in place code in loop() function , not in setup().
