// Test software to map display hardware rows and columns
// Generic SPI interface and only one MAX72xx/8x8 LED module required
//
// Does not use any libraries as the code is used to directly map the display orientation
// Observe the display and relate it to the MAX7219 hardware being exercised through the
// instructions and output on the serial monitor.
//
// NOTE: You need to change the hardware pins to match your specific setup
