Hi All!

I have just received some of these display TM1637:

I have made a small testprogram i FC8 with the TM1637 component.
In addition to a clock, it can be used for many other purposes.

All functions working perfect with FC8.

Hello.
I am French teacher.
Where did you find the TM1637 7SEGMENT(QUAD) ?
Thanks.

Hi Proflolo, Just use Search

Also available from Displays -> Display: Segment, it's right near the bottom of the displays list.

Yes, if you use the search then where the location of component is will be shown.
See the green outline in the image on my previous post.

Bonjour,
Je suis désolé de vous répondre par la négative.
Mais je n'ai pas le TM1637 dans ma bibliothèque.
Ci-joint, ma copie d'écran.

You must have the latest version installed!

Vous devez avoir la dernière version installée

Merci beaucoup..
Effectivement, c'était tout siple.
Je vous remercie beaucoup.
Bonne soirée

Good evening!
I use this topic to avoid opening another.
I have an application where I have to use 3 quad 7 segment displays.I have found that I can use the quad 7 segment display led by the TM1637 driver in Flowcode. I already have 3 displays available. Now I have some questions about component 7Segment (Quad TM1637), which I hope to find answers here:

1. How do I send Flowcode information to the 3 displays if they are cascaded?
2. How can I use the decimal point (dp)?

Thanks in advance!

Puiu

L.E.

3. How do I "print" custom characters?

Hello,

1. How do I send Flowcode information to the 3 displays if they are cascaded?

You can simply just connect different I/O to different display pins. This allows you to connect and control multiple units.

2. How can I use the decimal point (dp)?

Does your unit have a DP outputs? Can you show us which specific unit you are using.

3. How do I "print" custom characters?

Currently we allow the characters 0-9 and A-F. I can expose a lower level macro to allow you to control the individual segments if this would help.

Yes, it has decimal points and I have to use it ...
If it connects cascaded, I only have two lines of command CLK and DIO.
I want, for example, to write "u" or "U", how can I do that?
Thank you!

Aha we based the component off the Grove module which doesn't have the decimal points or the cascade functionality.

Let me investigate for you.

I am already on the second project with TM1637 and I'm struck by the same problem: I can not use the decimal point. This time I really need to, because I'm doing a DRO.
Can anyone change TM1637 component for FC8?
Thank you!

Please help me at least by directly accessing the segments to print custom characters, with the decimal point I can do by myself with the addition of a transistor.
Thank you!

Hello,

Thanks for letting me know. I have added a new ShowSegments macro to allow you to manually control the individual display segments.

First of all, thank you for helping me again, sir!
I did a test, but I do not see how the macro works ...
Can you look at the file?
Once again, thank you!

Hello,

Sorry I forgot to check the simulation was running too. I've now fixed this and it should now be working nicely.

Please note I have changed the parameters for the new SetSegments macro slightly so you will have to edit any icons that reference the function.

Now, everything seems to be all right and everything goes well.
Thank you again!
