Welcome to Digital Tube Module repository

IR_Digital_tube

Note: The program provided in this course is only applicable to Yahboom exclusive IR controller.

1. Purpose

In this course, we mainly learn to how to realize IR controller control Digital tube.

2. Programming method

Mode 1 online programming:

First, we need to connect the micro:bit to the computer by USB cable. The computer will pop up a USB flash drive and click on the URL in the USB flash drive: http://microbit.org/ to enter the programming interface. Add the Yahboom package: https://github.com/YahboomTechnology/tm1650 and https://github.com/lzty634158/yahboom_mbit_ir to start programming.

Mode 2 offline programming:

We need to open the offline programming software. After the installation is complete, enter the programming interface, click[New Project]. Add Yahboom package: https://github.com/YahboomTechnology/tm1650 and https://github.com/lzty634158/yahboom_mbit_ir , you can start programming.

3. About wiring

Note: Because the micro:bit cannot be directly connected to the module, we use the micro:bit alligator clip expansion board. As shown in the figure below.

4. Combine building blocks

We need to use the following programming building blocks.

5. Experimental phenomenon

After the program is downloaded successfully, the dot matrix displays a smiling face, and you can control the digital tube to display different content by pressing the button through the IR controller.
