MAXREFDES99 Display Driver Reference Design

Analog Devices MAXREFDES99 Display Driver Reference Design is an Arduino® form-factor shield that drives a 16x16 LED array for signage applications. This Reference Design is ideal for anyone developing display applications. The shield is based on the MAX7219 LED Driver, with four of the devices daisy-chained to drive a 256-LED array. The board arrives complete with four 8x8 LED displays. The code for the MAXREFDES99 is available on both Arduino and Arm® mbed™ platforms for quick prototyping with multiple platform boards. System demonstrations include the display of ASCII characters "SPACE" through "~" and writing/scrolling string messages. Developers are encouraged to build upon and enhance the codebase.
