Several years ago I made a simple Atari Breakout inspired game using an Arduino and an 8x8 LED Matrix from Adafruit.
You can watch the video showing my original project here: youtu.be/gMXmvXtGnCU
Over the years the project has been viewed by a lot of people, and I often get asked how to make it work with a MAX7219 board instead of the Adafruit board I originally used.
In this video I'm showing how to get the MAX7219 board working. And then where you should change the code for my original project to make it work with this board.
Please consider to like the video and subscribe to my channel, if you want more videos like this in the future.
