Driver for MAX7219 8x8 LED matrices
Example for ESP8266 with 2x4 matrices (one on top, one on bottom),
so we have a 32x16 display area:
>>> from machine import Pin, SPI
>>> from max7219 import Max7219
>>> spi = SPI(1, baudrate=10000000)
>>> screen = Max7219(32, 16, spi, Pin(15))
>>> screen.rect(0, 0, 32, 16, 1) # Draws a frame
>>> screen.text('Hi!', 4, 4, 1)
>>> screen.show()
On some matrices, the display is inverted (rotated 180°), in this case
you can use `rotate_180=True` in the class constructor.
