CircuitPython library for MAX7219 LED matrix driver.
Project description
Introduction
CircuitPython driver for the MAX7219 LED matrix driver chip.
See here for the equivalent MicroPython driver.
Dependencies
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.
Installing from PyPI
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally from PyPI. To install for current user:
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .env
source .env/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219Usage Example
adafruit_max7219.Matrix8x8 Example
from adafruit_max7219 import matrices
from board import TX, RX, A2
import busio
import digitalio
import time
clk = RX
din = TX
cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(A2)
spi = busio.SPI(clk, MOSI=din)
display = matrices.Matrix8x8(spi, cs)
while True:
display.brightness(3)
display.fill(1)
display.pixel(3, 3)
display.pixel(3, 4)
display.pixel(4, 3)
display.pixel(4, 4)
display.show()
time.sleep(3.0)
display.clear_all()
s = 'Hello, World!'
for c in range(len(s)*8):
display.fill(0)
display.text(s,-c,0)
display.show()
time.sleep(0.25)adafruit_max7219.BCDDigits Example
from adafruit_max7219 import bcddigits
from board import TX, RX, A2
import bitbangio
import digitalio
clk = RX
din = TX
cs = digitalio.DigitalInOut(A2)
spi = bitbangio.SPI(clk, MOSI=din)
