Use single-digit or four-digit 7-segment display with Arduino to display arbitrary strings in ticker tape/news ticker style. Utilize a default mapping from alphanumeric characters to 7-segment display representations or configure your own.

first argument in setRepresentation(66, '!', B01100001) is a unique integer identifier for a character. Use 66-69 for custom mappings or 0-65 to override the default mapping for alphanumerics
