    You have to think binary to figure out the numbers in the lookup table, so here goes . . . take a port to drive displays, I pick PortB
    connect the segments to the port, to make it easy on myself, I will select ports in numerical/alphabetical order, so PortB.0 is segment A, PortB.1 is segment b, PortB.2 is segment C . . . . Now to make zero you must illuminate the following segments: abcdef, which means portsB 012345 which translates to %00111111 or decimal 63 or hex 3F. The number 1 would be binary %00000110 or Dec. 6 or Hex 06 and so on and so forth.

    If you do not believe in MAGIC, Consider how currency has value simply by printing it, and is then traded for real assets.
    .
    Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants - but debt is the money of slaves
    .
