A simple interface to the TM1638 based displays for the Raspberry Pi.
Dealextreme, doubtless amongst others, sell small boards with eight
seven-segment displays, eight red-green LEDs and eight push buttons
for less than $10.
The boards are basically just the LEDs and switches, and a TM1638
driver chip. This sits on a two-wire serial bus which makes it
fairly easy to connect the boards to a computer/microcontroller of
your choice. Of course, one needs a little bit of software. This is
such a library for the Raspberry Pi.
You can grab the code from github https://github.com/mjoldfield/pi-tm1638
1. Checkout the code (needs autotools):
git clone https://github.com/mjoldfield/pi-tm1638.git
autoreconf -vfi
./configure
make
sudo make install
2. Or just grab the a tarball (no autotools needed):
wget https://github.com/downloads/mjoldfield/pi-tm1638/pi-tm1638-1.0.tar.gz
tar xzvf pi-tm1638-1.0.tar.gz
cd pi-tm1638-1.0
./configure
make
sudo make install
If you've got doxygen installed, you'll find docs in doc/html. Otherwise
feel free to browse them on github. Here's a good place to start:
