Test driving and LED matrix with the LedControl library

Here’s a demo of the matrix in action:

Notes

This is a test of the LedControl library to drive a 1088AS LED matrix with a MAX7219 Serial-Interfaced LED Display Driver chip.

See the MaxRawDemo project for details of the hardware and setup, and a test of driving the hardware directly with SPI.

About LEAP

LEAP is my personal collection of electronics projects - usually involving an Arduino or other microprocessor in one way or another. Some are full-blown projects, while many are trivial breadboard experiments, intended to learn and explore something interesting.

Projects are often inspired by things found wild on the net, or ideas from the many great electronics podcasts and YouTube channels. Feel free to borrow liberally, and if you spot any issues do let me know or send a pull-request.

NOTE: For a while I included various scale modelling projects here too, but I've now split them off into a new repository: check out LittleModelArt if you are looking for these projects.
