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
- Rev 1 has 3.3V interface operation (J1)
- 3.3V to 5V Level shifter

Arduino Programming
Arduino Drivers
- MAX7219X4 Land Boards 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
Arduino Example Code
LBMAX7219X4_ADDR
- LBMAX7219X4_ADDR
- void writeHexDigit(uint8_t rowVal, uint8_t colVal, uint8_t digitVal) - Write Hexadecimal digit to location
- 8 columns, 4 rows
- rowVal = 0 is top row in display
- colVal = 0 = left character
LBMAX7219X4
- LBMAX7219X4
- Displays Land-Boards channel intro video across the LEDs on 4 rows of 8-digits MAX7219X4 card
- "LAND-" (first line)
- "BOARDS" (second line)
- "PRESENTS" (third line)
- "CARDS...", "AND CODE" (4th line)
CircuitPython Programming
class adafruit_max7219.bcddigits.BCDDigits(spi: SPI, cs: DigitalInOut, nDigits: int = 1)[source] Basic support for display on a 7-Segment BCD display controlled by a Max7219 chip using SPI. Parameters spi (SPI) – an spi busio or spi bitbangio object cs (DigitalInOut) – digital in/out to use as chip select signal nDigits (int) – number of led 7-segment digits; default 1; max 8
VHDL Code
- MAX7219 VHDL code
