Warning

MAX7219 modules are sensitive to poor electrical connections and low voltage.

Always use high-quality cables and an external +5V power source when connecting these modules to a board. When chaining multiple MAX7219 modules do not daisy-chain the +5V power.

The DIO and CLK pins can be connected to any digital or analog input pin on the board. TM1637 modules cannot be connected in series.
