# TM1637
# Raspberry Pi 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 on Raspberry Pi.
For example, the [Grove - 4 Digit Display module](http://wiki.seeed.cc/Grove-4-Digit_Display/)
## Installation
This project is available through [pip](https://www.w3schools.com/python/python_pip.asp). Make sure that you are using Python 3.
```
$ pip3 install raspberrypi-tm1637
```
## Examples
**Basic usage**
```python
import tm1637
tm = tm1637.TM1637(clk=5, dio=4)
# 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.
```python
brightness(val=None)
```
Write one or more segments at a given offset.
```python
write(segments, pos=0)
```
Convert a single hex digit (0x00-0x0f) to a segment.
```python
encode_digit(digit)
```
Convert a string to a list of segments.
```python
encode_string(string)
```
Convert a single character to a segment.
```python
encode_char(char)
```
Display a number in hexadecimal format 0000 through FFFF.
```python
hex(val)
```
Display a number -999 through 9999, right aligned.
```python
number(num)
```
Display 2 independent numbers on either side of the (optional) colon, with leading zeros.
```python
numbers(num1, num2, colon=True)
```
Display a temperature -9 through 99 followed by degrees C.
```python
temperature(num)
```
Show a string on the display.
Shorthand for `write(encode_string())`.
Limited to first 4 characters.
```python
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.
```python
scroll(string, delay=250)
```
