Pi Pico/I2C and the Mini 0.8" 8x8 LED Matrix w/I2C Backpack (ID: 1633)

Post by Tomadaski »

Hi all,
Not having much success with Pi Pico/I2C and the Mini 0.8" 8x8 LED Matrix w/I2C Backpack (ID: 1633)
I can scan for the address (0x70) but that's about it

Adafruit has an Arduino library manager but cannot find any RP libraries or the MAX7219 LED Display Driver
Even a simple Python 'blink the LEDs' would help to get things started n be greatly appreciated
Thanks!!

The only Python that would be run on a Pi Pico would be MicroPython or CircuitPython.

CircuitPython setup is covered here:

and usage a few pages later:
