void setup() {
  tm1637.init();
  tm1637.setBrightness(7); // Set display brightness to maximum
}
void loop() {
  tm1637.display(1234); // Display the number 1234
  delay(1000);
  tm1637.display(5678); // Display the number 5678
  delay(1000);
}
```

void setup() {
  pinMode(irProximityPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = digitalRead(irProximityPin);
  
  if (sensorValue == LOW) {
    Serial.println("Obstacle detected!");
  } else {
    Serial.println("No obstacle detected.");
  }
  delay(50);
}
```
### Example 3: Combining the Display and Proximity Sensor
This example demonstrates how to combine the 4-digit display and IR proximity sensor to create a simple obstacle detection system with a distance indicator.
```cpp
#include <TM1637.h>
const int irProximityPin = 32; // IR proximity sensor output pin

void setup() {
  pinMode(irProximityPin, INPUT);
  tm1637.init();
  tm1637.setBrightness(7); // Set display brightness to maximum
}
void loop() {
  int sensorValue = digitalRead(irProximityPin);
  
  if (sensorValue == LOW) {
    int distance = calculateDistance(); // Calculate distance using the sensor value
    tm1637.display(distance); // Display the distance on the 4-digit display
  } else {
    tm1637.display(0); // Reset the display when no obstacle is detected
  }
  delay(50);
}
int calculateDistance() {
  // Implement your distance calculation algorithm here
  // For example:
  return map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 0, 50); // Convert sensor value to distance (0-50 cm)
}
```
