Support for 4-digit TM1637 display

[thijstriemstra]

Recently got one of these 4 Bits TM1637 Digital Tube LED Clock displays. Would be cool to support this in luma.led_matrix.

[thijstriemstra]

I've ordered one for you @rm-hull if you want to play around with it.

[twdkeule]

I already encountered this while looking to buy one: raspberrytips.nl

Also found this on github

[thijstriemstra]

Ok. It uses wiringPi2. Thanks for info though.

[rm-hull]

@thijstriemstra - Package arrived today

[thijstriemstra]

Yay nice :) @rm-hull any luck getting it to work?

[rm-hull]

I connected this up, but not getting anything displayed (connected to an RPi Zero) using the scripts from https://raspberrytips.nl/tm1637-4-digit-led-display-raspberry-pi/

Not sure if it's a dud or something specific to the pi zero.

[thijstriemstra]

Here's an arduino reference library with a wiring table: https://github.com/bremme/arduino-tm1637

Hardware setup

TM1637 PIN	Arduino PIN	Description
CLK	Any digital pin	Clock
DIO	Any digital pin	Digital output
VCC	5V	Supply voltage
GND	GND	Ground

And using https://github.com/johnlr/raspberrypi-tm1637 I couldn't get it to work with CLK on gpio 21 and DIO on 20.

[thijstriemstra]

Maybe this is easy to port.. https://github.com/blueSolder/tm1637-Chip/blob/master/tm1637_Chip.py

[thijstriemstra]

Also couldn't get https://raspberrytips.nl/tm1637-4-digit-led-display-raspberry-pi/ to work. @twdkeule did you get it to work?

[thijstriemstra]

any chance we can resurrect this @rm-hull? :) one of my most used projects uses this display and it feels weird to use a 'third-party' library for this, I'd love to use luma for this.

Update: I thought I was using a library but turns out it's some code I copy/pasted from somewhere, don't remember where. Anyway, here it is:
