CircuitPython driver for the MAX7219 LED matrix driver chip.
.. seealso:: See `here <https://github.com/adafruit/micropython-adafruit-max7219>`_ for the equivalent MicroPython driver.
This driver depends on:
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem. This is easily achieved by downloading the Adafruit library and driver bundle.
