Overview
The Yahboom Digital tube module is a 4-digit digital tube display module (red) with an onboard TM1650 driver chip, allowing the display to be driven directly via I2C (IIC) without MCU loop dynamic scanning. This helps reduce single-chip CPU occupancy and simplifies wiring and programming for common controller boards and expansion boards.
Key Features
- 0.36 inch, 4-digit common cathode digital tube (red).
- TM1650 integrated driver; I2C directly drives the display (no dynamic scanning program required).
- Three connection methods: alligator clip connection, DuPont line connection (side row female interface), and PH2.0 cable connection.
- Supports common controllers such as Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Micro:bit.
- Interface design notes from the module documentation: not easy to short circuit when using alligator clips; convenient for multi-level connection; alligator clips are far apart at the four corners (suitable for fast connection); PH2.0 foolproof interface has corresponding insertability.
- Note: the module has been soldered to the DuPont interface and PH2.0 cable interface by default.

Details

A compact 0.36-inch 4-digit display module uses the TM1650 driver to simplify I2C control on popular dev boards.

Three connector styles—DuPont, PH2.0, and alligator clips—make quick wiring easy for prototypes and classroom builds.

Alligator-clip pads at the corners are spaced for fast, low-fuss connections during micro:bit experiments.

Use standard DuPont jumpers to connect SDA/SCL for I2C projects on boards like Raspberry Pi and STM32.

The keyed PH2.0 port offers a clean plug-in connection for sensor hubs and robot expansion boards.



Designed to integrate with a wide range of controller and expansion boards for flexible I2C display projects.

TM1650 onboard driving reduces MCU workload by handling the display over I2C without manual dynamic scanning.

Build interactive demos like IR remote number display and simple counters using the bright red 4-digit tube.


Official tutorials and sample code are available for Arduino, micro:bit, and STM32 to help you get started faster.




Pin labels are clearly marked for quick I2C hookup: VCC, GND, SDA, and SCL.

Dimensions, operating voltage, and I2C details are provided for easier enclosure planning and wiring checks.
