Circuit diagram
TM1637
TM1637 seven segment modules is a ready made multiplexed seven segment display with 4 digits. The driver IC is TM1637; It has 4pin control there are GND, VCC, DIO, CLK. only two signal lines can make MCU control four Digit 7-segments LED can be used to display decimal, letters and so on. The 7segment LED Display has common anode type.
TM1637 4-Digit 7-Segment Display Specifications
Operating voltage 3.3 – 5 V
Current draw-80 mA
Operating temperature-10 – 80 °C
Interfacing TM1637 with the arduino:
So the first thing you want to do is connect the clock pin to any pin on the Arduino.
CLK clock pin of the TM1637 with the digital pin 3 of the arduno.
DIO pin of the TM1637 with digital pin 2 of the arduino.
VCC of the TM1637 with the 3.3V of the Power module.
Gnd of the TM1637 with the ground of the Power module.
Installing Library
7segment: you need to Download and install the TM1637 library.
Follow the next steps to install those libraries.
In your Arduino IDE, to install the libraries go to Sketch > Include Library > Add .ZIP library… and select the library you’ve just downloaded.
After installing the required libraries, copy the following code to your Arduino IDE.
Refer Counter project for testing of TM1637 module.
