CircuitPython driver for the MAX7219 LED matrix driver chip.
See `here <https://github.com/adafruit/micropython-adafruit-max7219>`_ for the equivalent MicroPython driver.
Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:
* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_
Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.
Installing from PyPI
====================
On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-max7219/>`_. To install for current user:
.. code-block:: shell
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219
To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):
.. code-block:: shell
sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219
To install in a virtual environment in your current project:
.. code-block:: shell
mkdir project-name && cd project-name
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-max7219
Usage Example
=============
See the ``examples/`` folder example uses of this library.
Documentation
=============
API documentation for this library can be found on `Read the Docs <https://docs.circuitpython.org/projects/max7219/en/latest/>`_.
For information on building library documentation, please check out `this guide <https://learn.adafruit.com/creating-and-sharing-a-circuitpython-library/sharing-our-docs-on-readthedocs#sphinx-5-1>`_.
Contributing
