Slow down item counter display

Hi. I'm trying to use
this item counting display, but the numbers of items changes too fast for it to ever show a stable number for stuff like my iron station, and the lowest numbers just flicker. I've improved it a bit by dividing and multiplying the input by 100, to round it off, but it only marginally helped. I think what I really need is a circuit, that samples the input and holds it on the output for a whole second before updating, but I'm lost trying to build one. Can you guys help me out?

I'm fairly certain that there are a timer and a memory cell example on the combinator contraptions examples page on the wiki.
A combination of the two should have the desired result.
Depending on how long a delay between updates you want, you could use a circuit-connected belt as a timer.
Connect a loop of belt, make a circuit connection to read contents and not enable/disable the belt, add one item to the belt, you get a signal each time the item arrives.
