    So, I dusted off my Arduino Mega 2560 after I got a TM1638 module from DX this week.

    The code I got from @soraz's post is set for the NANO. Where the Digital pins are D3 to D5, can I just modify the TM1638.h to map to 3 Digital pins on the Arduino Mega? (Which go from D22 to D31?)

    Tagging you @eaorobbie as I have seen a few posts where you have had input on this, so you might know :)

    Thanks,

    Archie.

    according mapping reported here -->> http://forum.arduino.cc/index.php?topic=45329.0
    i think you can modify tm1638.h

    #define PB6 6 //D12
    #define PB5 5 //D11
    #define PB4 4 //D10
    //
    #define TM_OUT PORTB
    #define TM_IN PINB
    #define TM_DDR DDRB
    #define TM_BIT_STB _BV(PB4)
    #define TM_BIT_CLK _BV(PB5)
    #define TM_BIT_DAT _BV(PB6)

    or

    //
    #define PA2 2 //D24
    #define PA1 1 //D23
    #define PA0 0 //D22
    //
    #define TM_OUT PORTA
    #define TM_IN PINA
    #define TM_DDR DDRA
    #define TM_BIT_STB _BV(PA0)
    #define TM_BIT_CLK _BV(PA1)
    #define TM_BIT_DAT _BV(PA2)

    Don't see an issue just change the line that sets the Pins for the TM1638 , easy as.

    my project use an alternative fast library for TM1638 where pins are coded in library.
