Detailed Description

Class for Model 2.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

TM1638plus_Model2()

TM1638plus_Model2::TM1638plus_Model2	(	uint8_t	strobe,
		uint8_t	clock,
		uint8_t	data,
		bool	swap_nibbles = false,
		bool	high_freq = false
	)

Constructor for class TM1638plus_Model2.

Parameters

strobe	GPIO STB pin
clock	GPIO CLK pin
data	GPIO DIO pin
swap_nibbles	default false, if true, swaps nibbles on display byte.
high_freq	Changes the value of parameter _HIGH_FREQ which is default false.

Note

_HIGH_FREQ is used when running high freq MCU CPU (~>100Mhz) because of issues with button function. Pass true to turn on.

Member Function Documentation

ASCIItoSegment()

void TM1638plus_Model2::ASCIItoSegment

(

const uint8_t

values[]

)

Takes in Array of 8 ASCII bytes , Called from DisplayStr . Scans each ASCII byte converts to array of 8 segment bytes where each byte represents a segment. Then calls DisplaySegments() method to display segments on display.

Parameters

values

An array of 8 ASCII bytes

Note

byte 0 represents a in segment and then each bit represents the a segment in each digit. So for "00000005" is converted by DisplayStr to ASCII hex"3F 3F 3F 3F 3F 3F 3F 6D" where left is first digit. this is converted to hex "FF FE FF FF FE FF 01 00" by ASCIItoSegment, Where left is first segment. So "a" segment is turned on for all digits and "b" is on for all except last digit. The bits are mapping below abcdefg(dp) = 01234567 ! . See for mapping of seven segment to digit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven-segment_display We have to do this as TM1638 model 2 is addressed by segment not digit unlike Model 1&3

DisplayDecNum()

void TM1638plus_Model2::DisplayDecNum	(	unsigned long	number,
		uint8_t	dots,
		boolean	leadingZeros = true,
		AlignTextType_e	TextAlignment = TMAlignTextLeft
	)

Display an decimal number.

Parameters

number	integer to display 2^32.
dots	Decimal point display, switch's on decimal point for those positions.
leadingZeros	leading zeros set, true on , false off.
TextAlignment	left or right text alignment on display.

Note

Converts to string internally

DisplayDecNumNibble()

void TM1638plus_Model2::DisplayDecNumNibble	(	uint16_t	numberUpper,
		uint16_t	numberLower,
		uint8_t	dots,
		boolean	leadingZeros = true,
		AlignTextType_e	TextAlignment = TMAlignTextLeft
	)

Display an integer in each nibble (4 digits on display)

Parameters

numberUpper	upper nibble integer 2^16
numberLower	lower nibble integer 2^16
dots	Turn on or off decimal points to 0xFF d7d6d5d4d3d2d1d0
leadingZeros	leading zeros set, true on , false off
TextAlignment	left or right text alignment on display

Note

Divides the display into two nibbles and displays a Decimal number in each. takes in two numbers 0-9999 for each nibble.

DisplayHexNum()

void TM1638plus_Model2::DisplayHexNum	(	uint16_t	numberUpper,
		uint16_t	numberLower,
		uint8_t	dots,
		boolean	leadingZeros = true,
		AlignTextType_e	TextAlignment = TMAlignTextLeft
	)

Display an Hexadecimal number in each nibble (4 digits on display)

Parameters

numberUpper	upper nibble integer 2^16
numberLower	lower nibble integer 2^16
dots	Decimal point display, switch's on decimal point for those positions. 0 to 0xFF
leadingZeros	leading zeros set, true on , false off
TextAlignment	left or right text alignment on display

Note

Divides the display into two nibbles and displays a Decimal number in each. takes in two numbers 0-9999 for each nibble. Converts to string internally.

DisplaySegments()

void TM1638plus_Model2::DisplaySegments	(	uint8_t	segment,
		uint8_t	digit
	)

Send seven segment value to display.

Parameters

segment	0-7 byte of data corresponding to segments abcdefg(dp) 01234567.
digit	display digit position, 0x00 to 0xFF d8d7d6d5d54d3d2d1.

Note

for segment parameter a is 0 , dp is 7 , segment Value is which segments are off or on for each digit. To to set all "a" on send (0x00,0xFF). To set all segment "g" off (0x06,0X00)

DisplayStr()

void TM1638plus_Model2::DisplayStr	(	const char *	string,
		const uint16_t	dots = 0
	)

Display a string, with decimal point display.

Parameters

string	pointer to char array
dots	Turn on or off decimal points 0 to 0xFF d7d6d5d4d3d2d1d0

Note

Takes in string , converts it to ASCII using the font and masks for the decimal point. Then passes array of eight ASCII bytes to DisplayValues function

ReadKey16()

unsigned char TM1638plus_Model2::ReadKey16

(

void

)

Read push buttons method ( one of two methods available)

Returns

0 if no button pressed or a decimal value of buttons 1-16 (1 for S1 ... 16 for S16 ).

Note

User may have to debounce buttons depending on application.. model 2 example here in ADC file TM1638plus_ADC_TEST_Model2.ino

ReadKey16Two()

uint16_t TM1638plus_Model2::ReadKey16Two

(

void

)

Read push buttons method ( one of two methods available)

Returns

A 16 bit integer where each bit correspond to a switch.

1. S1 = 0x0001
2. S16 = 0x8000
3. S1 + S16 together = 0x8001

Note

Can detect multiple key presses. However, See notes section in readme regarding, problems with seven segment display when pressing certain keys in combination.
