GPIOD port from Raspberry Pi Python port from MicroPython library for TM1637 LED driver.

Project description

TM1637

GPIOD Python 3 TM1637

A Python 3 port from MicroPython library for the quad 7-segment LED display modules based on the TM1637 LED driver, implemented using Linux GPIOD.

Installation

This project is available through pip. Make sure that you are using Python 3.

$ pip3 install gpiod-tm1637

Examples

Basic usage

import tm1637
tm = tm1637.TM1637("/dev/gpiochip0", clk=3, dio=2)

# all LEDS on "88:88"
tm.write([127, 255, 127, 127])

# all LEDS off
tm.write([0, 0, 0, 0])

# show "0123"
tm.write([63, 6, 91, 79])

# show "COOL"
tm.write([0b00111001, 0b00111111, 0b00111111, 0b00111000])

# show "HELP"
tm.show('help')

# display "dEAd", "bEEF"
tm.hex(0xdead)
tm.hex(0xbeef)

# show "12:59"
tm.numbers(12, 59)

# show "-123"
tm.number(-123)

# show temperature '24*C'
tm.temperature(24)

Seven Segment Font

They are called 7-segment displays as there are 7 LEDs for each digit (segment). One byte (7 lower bits) for each segment. The 8th bit (MSB) is for the colon and only on the 2nd segment.

Methods

Get or set brightness.

brightness(val=None)

Write one or more segments at a given offset.

write(segments, pos=0)

Convert a single hex digit (0x00-0x0f) to a segment.

encode_digit(digit)

Convert a string to a list of segments.

encode_string(string)

Convert a single character to a segment.

encode_char(char)

Display a number in hexadecimal format 0000 through FFFF.

hex(val)

Display a number -999 through 9999, right aligned.

number(num)

Display 2 independent numbers on either side of the (optional) colon, with leading zeros.

numbers(num1, num2, colon=True)

Display a temperature -9 through 99 followed by degrees C.

temperature(num)

Show a string on the display. Shorthand for write(encode_string()). Limited to first 4 characters.

show(string, colon=False)

Display a string on the display, scrolling from the right to left, speed adjustable. String starts off-screen and scrolls until off-screen at 4 FPS by default.

scroll(string, delay=250)
