How to Use
- First, you need to create a MAX7219 object. After that you should call InitializeAsync() to initialize.
MAX7219 led = new MAX7219(0, DecodeMode.Digit7);
await led.InitializeAsync();
led.SetIntensity(5);
- Secondly
for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
{
led.SetSegment(i, (byte)i);
}
- If you want to close the sensor, call Dispose().
led.Dispose();
