First time posting and first time getting into something like this. I am trying to find small controller that I would be able to program to a single digit LED display. I would need the digital LED display to numbers & characters; and I would program the chip to send the specific number or character when a specific action occurs such as movement.
I was thinking for a test this SMD LED display: http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e ... ND/3878393
And for the controller maybe something like this? https://www.adafruit.com/products/163
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

Re: Controller to switch single LED Display
That LED dis a 7-segment display. It can display numbers, but only a limited number of characters. If you want to display both numbers and characters, you are better off with a matrix display or an alphanumeric segmented display. In any case, you will need a display driver for it. You will also need a microcontroller to read the accelerometer data and write to the display controller.
