Hardware requiments

TM1637 8 segment 0.36INCH Digital Display Tube 4 digit LED module:

Software requiments

Please install the "python-periphery" library.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git python3-pip python3-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/vsergeev/python-periphery.git
cd python-periphery/
python3 -m pip install python-periphery

Wiring

LED Module Raspberry Pi
CLK Pin#5
DIO Pin#3
GND GND
5V or 3V3 3V3

(Use the next table if you are not running this on a Raspberry Pi)

Setup

git clone https://github.com/nopnop2002/python-periphery-tm1637
cd python-periphery-tm1637/
vi tm1637.py

If you use this module on something other than Raspberry Pi, you should change the following:

_DEF_TM1637_CLK = ##           # Default GPIO for CLK
_DEF_TM1637_DIO = ##           # Default GPIO for DIO

These default names are loaded as implicit parameters on creation of an instance of TM1637, but other values can be passed as well to manage multiple displays at once. In that case also make sure to export all GPIO pins used as "out" before creation (see the first lines of the __main__).

CLK DIO
Raspberry Pi 3 2
Orange Pi Allwinner H2+ 11 12
Orange Pi Allwinner H3 11 12
Orange Pi Allwinner H5 11 12
Orange Pi Allwinner A64 226 227
Orange Pi 3 121 122
Orange Pi Lite2 229 230
Orange Pi OnePlus 229 230
Orange Pi RK3399 44 43
Orange Pi 4 65 64

Other default values can be set for more parameters as well.

_DEF_TM1637_BRIGHT = 0xA       # Default brightness from 0x0 to 0xF
_DEF_TM1637_ANIM_DELAY = 0.2   # Default animation delay in seconds

Remember to change your CPU temperature sensor in the script if necessary, inside _demo():

show_on_high_cpu_thermal(tm, 50, "/sys/devices/virtual/thermal/thermal_zone0/temp")
# Please change your cpu sensor path if different

Start demo

python3 tm1637.py

Privilege elevation might be required.

sudo -E python3 tm1637.py
