Scrolling text with Arduino Uno and MAX7219 Led Matrix
MAX7219/MAX7221 are compact, serial input/output common-cathode display drivers that interface microprocessors (µPs) to 7-segment numeric LED displays of up to 8 digits, bar-graph displays, or 64 individual LEDs. If you want to connect a few of these cheap led matrixes that are based on MAX7219 to your arduino you are going to need a library such as LedControl or MaxMatrix. For my tests I chose the later one. Check below the code and a video to see it in action.

I bought mine from this sellerÂ
Excellent travail
Merci pour les explications.
Bonne continuation
I am using 4In1 Module. The above code is not working. The string is scrolling vertically and individually in each of the 4 matrix display.
Bonjour
J’ai un message d’erreur « include Maxmatrix.h «Â
Que dois je inclure dans la bibliothèque car il existe plusieurs programmes pour Max 7219
Merci
Je suppose également avoir une erreur pour « avr/pgmspace.h «Â
Fonctionne parfaitement
Merci pour l’application
