Make a LED Matrix Box With Multiple Effects

Make A LED Matrix Box With multiple Effects (Scrolling Text, Sprite, Up/Down…)

The use of LED Matrix Max7219 is quite common nowadays. You can use it for many different applications such as: Clocks, Scrolling Text, advertising...

However, the sample code related to Max7219 I found relatively difficult for newbies, so I tried to rewrite the code as concise, understandable and clean as possible!
