What is Arduino®

Arduino®is an open-source prototyping platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software. Arduino®

boards are able to read inputs –light-on sensor, a finger on a button or a Twitter message –and turn it into

an output –activating of a motor, turning on an LED, publishing something online. You can tell your board

what to do by sending a set of instructions to the microcontroller on the board. To do so, you use the

Arduino programming language (based on Wiring) and the Arduino®software IDE (based on Processing).

Additional shields/modules/components are required for reading a twitter message or publishing online.

Product overview

The Whadda bar graph module allows any microcontroller board to easily drive a 10-segment blue LED

bar graph. The module uses a TM1651 LED driver chip to drive the individual LED segments, which can

be controlled by using only 2 GPIO pins of a microcontroller (such as an Arduino® compatible board). It

should be noted that some of the LED-segments are wired together, resulting in 8 different controllable

states of the LED bar graph. This module is ideally suited to display levels of battery charge, water tanks,

etc…

Specifications:

Supply voltage: 3,3 –5 V DC

Color: Blue

Driver chip: TM1651

Number of LED segments: 10
