Features
- (4) MAX7219 8 digits, 7 Segment display modules
- 32 digits
- 4 rows
- 8 digits per row
- Can display decimal, hex values, some text values
- Each display has 8 of 7 segment LED displays
- "Blue" card
- ebay search
- Not compatible with red modules
- 3.3V interface operation
- 3.3V to 5V Level shifter
- Requires both 3.3V and 5V power supplies
- 8 pin connector
- 95x95mm ODAS form factor
- (4) 6-32 mounting holes
J1 Connector
- 3.3V level
- 1x8 right angle header mounted on rear of card
- GND
- GND
- DOUT

- DIN
- 3.3V
- 5V
Programming
Arduino Drivers
- MAX7219X4 Arduino GitHub repository
- Uses Arduino LedControl library
- Library writes to multiple 8-digit displays
- Pins
- Arduino UNO pin 12 is connected to the DataIn
- Arduino UNO pin 11 is connected to the CLK
- Arduino UNO pin 10 is connected to CS
- Uses Arduino LedControl library
- LEDMatrixDriver - Alt driver
- Can drive more than 8 segments (limited only by memory)
- Writing to the display is controlled by software
- Much faster because it uses hardware SPI with soft SS
- Recommended pins for Arduino Uno:
- DIN is connected to 11
- CLK is connected to 13
- CS is connected to 9
- MAX72XX - Alt driver
- One or more 7-segment displays driven by a MAX7219 or MAX7221 IC
