arduino projects help

Hi all,im a total newbe to arduino and having searched for a yr for info to complete 2 projects with no luck.

bought an arduino uno and a 4 dig 7 segment lcd board from flebay,but there is no way a can find info to connect it to the uno.the project is to have the counter start at 5000 and using a tactile switch once pushed and held,the counter counts down to zero at a fast speed.but without info on the connections i cant get started.

second project is an uno to control a 9v motor and servo on two switches.one to start/stop the motor and the second to move the servo 90% back/forward.i have bought a motor/servo shield but dont understand the programming to sort this out.

any help or pointers would be great,many thanks chris.

You need to read some tutorials. That means do a Google search. Nobody can help you with the first one since you didn’t give any info on the LCD…

The second, there is a library for servos. I bet the servo shield came with example code.
