Gorillacell Module 006: 4-Digit 7-Segment LED

Table of Contents

A Seven Segment Display is a type of display composed of seven individual LED segments arranged to form numerical digits and limited alphabetic characters. Each segment can be lit independently to represent numbers from 0 to 9 and certain letters. A single digit therefore consists of seven LEDs or segments.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with one (1) piece of 4-digit Seven Segment Display module. The four digits are driven by a TM1637 driver chip, which simplifies wiring connections and reduces the number of pins required for control.
