Enable colon

[soweli-Luna]

i'm making an extremely simple clock but i cant figure out how to light the colon. heres my code:

#include <TM1637Display.h>
#define CLK 4 //can be any digital pin
#define DIO 5 //can be any digital pin
TM1637Display display(CLK, DIO);

int hours = 6;      //set these to 
int minutes = 40;   //whatever time it is
bool am = false;    //define if its am or pm
const int led = 6;  //am/pm led indicator pin

void setup() {
}

void loop() {
  display.setBrightness(1);
  display.showNumberDec(hours * 100 + minutes, false, 4, 0);
  minutes += 1;
  if (minutes >= 60)
  {
    minutes = 0;
    hours += 1;
  }
  if (hours >= 12)
  {
    hours = 1;
    if (am == true)
    {
      am = false;
    }
    else
    {
      am = true;
    }
  }
  if (am == true)
  {
    digitalWrite(led, HIGH);
  }
  else
  {
    digitalWrite(led, LOW);
  }
  delay(60000); //60 seconds
}

the following code works to enable the colon:

uint8_t segto;
int value = 1244;
segto = 0x80 | display.encodeDigit((value / 100)%10);
display.setSegments(&segto, 1, 1);

but i cant figure out how to change the number being displayed

same problem, got: display.showNumberDecEx(4, 0b01000000, false, 2, 0); 'class TM1637Display' has no member named 'showNumberDecEx' any idea ow to diplay the colon? Thank!

Are you using the latest version from GitHub?

Thank you for the hint. Using the lates version solve the problem :-))

However no dots are displayed using: // display.showNumberDecEx(1234, 0x80, true, 4, 0); delay(TEST_DELAY); display.showNumberDecEx(123, 0x40, true, 4, 0); // shows ":" after the second digit delay(TEST_DELAY); display.showNumberDecEx(12, 0x20, true, 4, 0); delay(TEST_DELAY); display.showNumberDecEx(1, 0x10, true, 4, 0); delay(TEST_DELAY); //

pls give an example how to display dots after figures Thank you

shit! It looks like my TM1637 4 digit display has "blind" dots but just the colon :-(( Any hint where a full featured display can be bought welcome

Thank-you

I am also looking for such a device. Adafruit.com has a several 4-digit 7 segment displays that let you address the colon and the individual decimals. Unfortunately it uses a different driver chip and is much more expensive than displays that use the tm1637.
