7 Segment Display 1 Digit

Common Anode 5161BS device

I have a common anode device which mean that instead of connecting the common 3,8 device pin to the GRD, I have to connect them to the 5V Arduino pin.

You can review the above Datasheet of the device, if you look closely the wide area of the LED is facing the 3,8 pin, this means that those ends need to be getting a power from the arduino.
In a common cathode device the LED will face to the digital arduino pins, and the 3,8 will connect to the Arduino GRD.

Basically this mean that in a common Anode device the digital "0" mean ON, and "1" means OFF.

Arduino code:

An example  that will count down from 9 to 0:

// Define the LED digit patters, from 0 - 9
// Note that these patterns are for common cathode displays
// For common anode displays, change the 1's to 0's and 0's to 1's
// 1 = LED on, 0 = LED off, in this order:
