# The following line of code should
# be tested using the REPL
# This will demonstrate basic function of 7 segment

# 1. TO WRITE A STRING:
# tm.show('abcd')

# 2. TO WRITE A NUMBER:
# tm.numbers(1234)
#    Now to use the decimal point in between
# tm.numbers(12,34) 
#    or use
# tm.numbers(12,34,True)
#    Now to turn off the decimal point
# tm.numbers(12,34,False)
#    So basically the 3rd value determines if
#    decimal point will be active or not.
#    So to display time: "12:59"
# tm.numbers(12, 59)
#    or 
# tm.numbers(12, 59, True)

# 3. TO SCROLL THE DISPLAY:
# tm.scroll('Hello World') # 4 fps
#    Now to control the speed of scroll
#    The second value, is the amount of delay in ms
# tm.scroll('Hello World', 1000) # 1 fps
# tm.scroll(list(tm1637._SEGMENTS))

# 4. TO SHOW TEMPERATURE:
#    Works for range -9 to +99
# tm.temperature(-9)  # -9*C
# tm.temperature(5)   #  5*C
# tm.temperature(99)  # 99*C
#    While values outside the range, will give
# tm.temperature(-10) # LO*C
# tm.temperature(100) # HI*C

#5. TO CONTROL THE BRIGHTNESS
# tm.brightness(0)
# tm.brightness(7)
