Welcome to Digital Tube Module repository

Digital tube display

1. Purpose

In this course, we mainly learn to use Arduino drive digital tube module display some numbers.

2. Preparation

Wiring diagram as shown below.

Note: As shown in the figure below, we use the Uno sensor expansion board. If you don’t have an expansion board, you can connect the Arduino board and the sensor module by DuPont lines.

3. About code

Please check .ino file.

We encapsulate the operation of TM1650 as a class, and directly drive the display by calling the corresponding operation function in the class.

4. Compiling and downloading code

4.1 We need to open the .ino file by Arduino IDE software. Then click“√”under the menu bar to compile the code, and wait for the word "Done compiling " in the lower left corner, as shown in the figure below.

4.2 In the menu bar of Arduino IDE, we need to select 【Tools】---【Port】--- selecting the port that the serial number displayed by the device manager just now, as shown in the figure below.

4.3 After the selection is completed, you need to click “→”under the menu bar to upload the code to the UNO board. When the word “Done uploading” appears in the lower left corner, the code has been successfully uploaded to the UNO board, as shown in the figure below.

5. Phenomenon

After the program is downloaded successfully, the digital tube will display numbers, letters, with scrolling and flashing effects.
