LED driver chip MAX6951

Has anyone used this chip? I used their older one with a stamp and it was great. Runs something like 64 discrete LEDs or 8, 7-segment displays. This new one runs from 2.7v-5.5v. Trying to use it with a Prop but it's comm protocols, SPI, are overly complicated. If anyone has been successful, I'd love some example code to start from...

Thanks in advance.

Rick

    All you need to do is follow the data sheet. Pull CS low then clock the data into the device. Have you seen the Basic object (for the propeller) in the obex? Its got a function to do just this.
