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…
