TM1637 with Arduino Mega 2560 R3

Wiring for the TM1637 4-digit 7-segment display on the Arduino Mega 2560 R3 (ATmega2560, 5 V logic), chosen with the same pin rules BoardPilot uses: default buses first, and no pins that are used for flash, USB, the debugger or booting.

Wiring

TM1637 pin	Role	Arduino Mega 2560 R3 pin	Notes
CLK	Input to the part	22 (PA0)	Clock (not I2C, not SPI)
DIO	Input to the part	23 (PA1)	Data (not I2C)
GND	Ground	GND
5V	Power	5V	Works at 3.3 V or 5 V

Check before you power it on

Supply: 5 V from the 5V pin.

Test code (Arduino)

// Library: TM1637 (Avishay Orpaz)
#include <TM1637Display.h>

TM1637Display display(22, 23);  // CLK, DIO

void setup() {
  display.setBrightness(4);
}

void loop() {
  display.showNumberDec(millis() / 1000);  // seconds since start
  delay(200);
}

Arduino board: arduino:avr:mega.

Questions

Which Arduino Mega 2560 R3 pins do I use for the TM1637?

CLK → 22 (PA0), DIO → 23 (PA1), GND → GND, 5V → 5V.

Does the TM1637 work with the Arduino Mega 2560 R3 at 5 V?

Yes: the TM1637 runs at 3.3-5 V and the Arduino Mega 2560 R3 uses 5 V signals, so no level shifting is needed.

BoardPilot checks this wiring in 3D as you build it, and finds crossed or missing wires on the real board.
