The idea was to combine a bright TM1637 4 digit Led display with a AAA battery powered circuit with very low standby current, so using the lowpower.h Lib and wakeup by count interrupt.The count value can be reset by pressing the reset switch of the Pro Mini.During Power Down, the Power of TM1637 is switched off by cutting its gnd Line, this is done by Pin D7 which is a Push Pull Output, in order to reduce the power cunsumption.The switch can be replaced by a magnet and a reed contact, ILS, or a Ultra Low Power Hall effect switch MLX92216 in order to keep current consumption near to 0.With the measured standby current of 10uA, 3 AAA batteries can power the counter by more then 1 year.
