MAX7219 Without SPI - Easy To Use
PostPosted: Wed May 16, 2012 5:17 am     Reply with quote

Refer this pdf to assemble your circuit:
http://www.rasmicro.com/FTP/MAX7219-21%208-Digit%20LED%20Display%20Driver.pdf

You can directly download from here:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/mkufgq

Or you can look over and copy the library from here:

Code:
/*
******************************************************************************************************
* Chip        : MAX7219
* Author      : Burak HANÇERLİ
* Mail        : bhancerli@gmail.com
* Description : MAX7219 LED Display Driver Routines - v1.1
*   

*  The Maxim MAX7219 is a led display driver. It can control up to 64 individual leds or eight
*  7-segment-display.
*
*  Max7912 uses 3-wire to communicate with microcontroller.
*    - DATA   : Used to transmit data.
*    - CLOCK  : Used to generate clock signal which is required for transmitting each bite of data.
*    - LOAD   : Used to load data to the Max7913's Dual-Port SRam.
*                 
*
*
*  Advantages of Max7219 :
*  - Adjustable intensity. (More or less bright leds)
*  - Shutdown mode (much less power consumption)
*  - Test mode (To see if digits are working or not)
*  - Adjustable digit number. (1 to 8 seven-segment-display)
*  - Changeable decode mode. (codeB-decode-mode or no-decode-mode)
*      (Look over datasheet for more detailed information)
*
*
*  DESCRIPTION OF USER FUNCTIONS
* -------------------------------
*  init7219()                      : Required for initialize MAX7219. This function have has to be called before calling any function.
*  write7219(digit, data)          : Writes data to the specified digit number. If Decimal Point needed on any digit, just add
                                     128 to the data.
                                     For example : write7219(1,3)   = writes "3"  to first digit.
                                                   write7219(1,131) = writes "3." to first digit.
*  shutdown7219(operatingMode)     : Set operatingMode = 0 to Shutdown mode
*                                    Set operatingMode = 1 to Normal mode
*  decode7219(decodeMode)          : Sets digit-decode mode. code-B or no-decode mode. Look up datasheet for detailed instructions.
*                                    For example, if user sets decodeMode = 4, (4=0b00000100), then 3. digit will be
*                                    decoded as code-B algorithm, but other pins don't have any decode mode.
*  brightness7219(brightnessLevel) : Sets brightness level of digits.
*                                    brightnessLevel = 0  ; minimum brightness level
*                                    brightnessLevel = 15 ; maximum brigthness level
*                                   
*  scanLimit7219(totalDigitNumber) : Sets number of connected digits to the MAX7219. When init7912() function is called,
                                     number of digit will be setted to 4 as default.
                                     
*  test7219(testMode)              : Sets 7-segment-display test-mode on or off.
                                     testMode = 0 ; normal operation mode
                                     testMode = 1 ; display test mode

MAX7219 cascaded?
PostPosted: Thu Jan 02, 2014 6:54 am     Reply with quote

Please is possible to use a second MAX7219 cascaded? connecting the DOUT pin of the first CS in the Second?
