LKM1638

JY-LKM1638 board driver library for Micropython / WiPy

Code has been written from scratch by me:

Arik Baratz github@arik.baratz.org

but was HEAVILY inspired by the Arduino library by Ricardo Batista:

Usage:

from machine import Pin
from LKM1638 import LKM1638, LED_RED, LED_NONE

display = LKM1638(Pin.board.GP8, Pin.board.GP30, Pin.board.GP31)
display.setup(True, 7)

n = 0                 
while True:
	display.print_number(n, 16)
	n+=1234

	for i, button in enumerate(display.get_buttons()):
	    if button:
    	    display.set_led(i, LED_RED)
 	   else:
    	    display.set_led(i, LED_NONE)

WARNING

The JY-LKM1638 display is a 5v CMOS platform. This code has been tested on WiPi - a 3.3v platform. While the diaplay can accept 3.3v input, WiPy cannot accept a 5v input, which can happen on the DIO control.

I've used a simple bidirectional level shifter, described here:

http://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/97892/116011

This level shifter already has pull-ups on both ends, so I have configured DIO as an open drain output without a pull-up. If your hardware differs, you would have to change it. Note that it's reinitialised in the _recv method.
