error: 'class TM1637' has no member named 'displayStr'

[petermisovic]

Library 1.0.0 installed via Arduino 1.18.13 manager (Ubuntu linux).

tm1637 class defined with pins, initialized in setup {tm1637.init(); tm1637.set(BRIGHT_TYPICAL); tm1637.clearDisplay();} and called loop{tm1637.displayStr("L0");}

Verify (or upload code) exits with error:
error: 'class TM1637' has no member named 'displayStr'
tm1637.displayStr("L0");

It is clear, that library version 1.0.0 installed via Arduino 1.18.13, does not contain those member classes in TM1637.h:
.

I have downloaded latest version and building works fine.

Hi @petermisovic

Did you solve this problem?
For me, the same errors occur.
There are no displayStr or displayNum methods as shown in the examples.

Hi, I did solve it, but honestly, I do not remember how:(

@petermisovic @JoseCintra
Library installed via Arduino IDE library manager (v1.0.0) does not contain latest functions as you can see here:

New library version should be released by repository maintainer (@lanselambor maybe?)

---

In a meantime you can download latest code from Github

And unzip it to wherever your Arduino libraries are installed (but first you should delete already installed Grove_4-Digit_Display library)
To find Arduino libraries location go to Arduino IDE -> File -> Preferences and there you'll see Sketchbook location: that folder contains libraries folder in which Arduino libraries are installed.

@petermisovic @JoseCintra Is your problem solved now?

Hello,

I'm going to close this issue, feel free to re-open it if you have any other questions.

@Lesords
Could this issue please be revisited?

The Arduino IDE still doesnt download the latest version that includes methods like displayStr() for me. I have to manually download the ZIP of the most recent master and add it to my Documents/Arduino/libraries folder.

Maybe you have to create a new release in the repository?!

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for pointing this out, I've already published the latest release.

It may take a while for this to take effect in the Arduino library manager.

Thx for doing this so quickly 😊 !!
I'll check back in a while to see if it shows up in the arduino IDE
