MicroPython LED Matrix Library - DIYables_MicroPython_LED_Matrix

This MicroPython LED Matrix library is designed for any hardware platform that supports MicroPython such as Raspberry Pi Pico, ESP32, Micro:bit... to work with the Max7219 LED Matrix. It is created by DIYables to work with DIYables LED Matrix, but also work with other brand LED Matrix. Please consider purchasing LED Matrix 8x8 and LED Matrix 32x8 from DIYables to support our work.
