Library for TM1651 (Oshonsoft Basic).

[DogFlu66]

Hello,
I've been searching for PCBs that include the TM1651 to carry out practical exercises, but it seems that the only available product is an LED battery level indicator that uses the TM1651.

The TM1651 integrated circuit allows controlling 4-digit 7-segment displays and reading up to 6 keys. Writing the library for this chip has been particularly easy because it is similar to the TM1637. Therefore, I adapted the library I previously wrote for the TM1637 to work with the TM1651.

I removed all the functions related to digit control and key reading, and then implemented specific functions to control the LEDs included on the PCB.

I am sharing all the necessary files to experiment with the TM1651-based battery level indicator for a while.

​

TM1651 Library:​

TM1651_Init()
Initialize the TM1651.
TM1651_OutSeg(Seg As Byte, sBit As Bit)
Outputs data to a specific segment of the display (0 to 6, On/Off bit).
TM1651_Clear()
Clears all segments of the display, turning them off.
TM1651_Full()
Turns on all segments of the display.
TM1651_Bright(Bright As Byte)
Adjusts the brightness of the display (0 to 7).

Are they different to the TM1637?, where there are at least two modules available, with 7 segment displays and keys.

It seems that they are compatible, but for the TM1651, I have only found a battery level PCB that uses it. On the other hand, for the TM1637, it is possible to find PCBs with different key and digit configurations.

Well the TM1637 is a larger chip, so has more capabilities, it's probably only worth using the TM1651 for a small application like the battery display. Why not use the 37 instead?, presumably the software is very little different. I've got a couple of different TM1637 boards, and have used them with PIC's using XC8.

The TM1637 already has its own thread.

Library to work with displays based on TM1637 (Oshonsoft Pic Basic Compiler).

I am attaching the library to work with the TM1637 based on the library written in C from the datasheets. I have had several problems because the displays with TM1637 do not all work at the same speed and this is not taken into account in the examples in the datasheets. There is also a big...

Is the library any different?

They seem to be the same. But I can't prove it 100%.

The initial configuration is the same and the memory address of the first output byte is the same. The brightness has the same levels and memory address, which are the only functions you can test, later I will compare the datasheets in detail.

Should be easy then to make a library that covers them both?.
