TM1637 with Teensy 4.1
Wiring for the TM1637 4-digit 7-segment display on the Teensy 4.1 (MIMXRT1062DVJ6B, 3.3 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 | Teensy 4.1 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CLK | Input to the part | 2 (GPIO_EMC_04) | Clock (not I2C, not SPI) |
| DIO | Input to the part | 3 (GPIO_EMC_05) | Data (not I2C) |
| GND | Ground | G | |
| 5V | Power | 3V | Works at 3.3 V or 5 V |
Check before you power it on
- Supply: 3.3 V from the 3V pin.
Test code (Arduino)
// Library: TM1637 (Avishay Orpaz)
#include <TM1637Display.h>
TM1637Display display(2, 3); // CLK, DIO
void setup() {
display.setBrightness(4);
}
void loop() {
display.showNumberDec(millis() / 1000); // seconds since start
delay(200);
}

Questions
Which Teensy 4.1 pins do I use for the TM1637?
CLK → 2 (GPIO_EMC_04), DIO → 3 (GPIO_EMC_05), GND → G, 5V → 3V.
Does the TM1637 work with the Teensy 4.1 at 3.3 V?
Yes: the TM1637 runs at 3.3-5 V and the Teensy 4.1 uses 3.3 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.
