Arduino UNO with CD4510 Counter

Question

I am new in Arduino but I have experience in electronics.

I was wondering how can I make a countdown timer using a CD4510 and an Arduino UNO. I know you would suggest that I should connect my seven segment display on the IO pins but I can't do that because I will use multiple seven segment displays.

The CD4510 does not seem at all appropriate for this task. It is a counter chip that counts up or down. You can do that with the Arduino. The output (of the CD4510) would be in "binary" and not suitable for driving a 7-segment display.

You can get 8 digit 7-segment displays on eBay for around $2. Surely that fits within your budget?

I can use CD4510 to make a countdown timer, I just need to connect CLOCK INPUT to the Digital IO pins located in the arduino microcontroller and use pulse with modulation (pwm) for the code
