MAX7219 Demo Code on BS Pro Development Board

awesomeduck

I wrote a little demo program to exercise all the functions of the MAX7219 LED Display chip. I followed the style I saw in some Nuts & Volts articles and tried to make is use every feature available in the chip. I also have included a "bare bones" version which gives the most basic function to display integers. I've included pictures of how to wire the device up. Be sure to put a 10K resistor on the Rset pin to set the intensity. The MAX7219 is a easy to use chip...almost think there should be one right on the PDB.
Enjoy.
