+#ZeroSeg
+
+The ZeroSeg is an easy to use 8-character 7-segment display add-on board for your Raspberry Pi Zero or any other 40-pin Raspberry Pi model.
+
+ZeroSeg has the ability to display 8 characters, data such as the time, date, counters, stock prices, sports scores and more making it very 
+usefull for projects of all shapes and sizes.
+
+The displays are controlled by a MAX7219CNG integrated circuit, which manages each LED segment, requiring very few GPIO pins to run the board. this boards circuit is wired in the exact same way as generic 7-segment modules, allowing the use of existing code and libraries to easily create Pi Zero projects with 8-character displays.
+
+
+To install first enable SPI and update your pi then:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get install git build-essential python-dev python-pip
+git clone https://github.com/AverageManVsPi/ZeroSeg.git
+cd zeroseg
+sudo python setup.py install
+sudo pip install spidev
+```
