Hi,

Does anyone know of a current driver/library for MicroPython on the ESP32 for the MAX7219 7-segment display? This one here: https://esphome.io/components/display/max7219.html



I tried the below two but they are outdated and don't work anymore on the newer releases of MicroPython. (Unfortunately I am not technically smart enough to be able to update these to work)

- https://github.com/pdwerryhouse/max7219_8digit

Thanks in advance for your time!

I just saw this post and was wondering what issue you were having with this one:
https://github.com/JennaSys/micropython-max7219

I know there is an open issue with the digits being reversed because I think those modules are wired backwards, but if there was something else please open an issue on github. I haven't been working with the max7219 so didn't get to doing the workaround yet, but I have a new project I'm working on with it and will be addressing the open issue.
