This is a library for the Adafruit LED Backpacks. This library works with the Adafruit Mini 8x8.

Dependents:   CompSci335Project TritiumSim

How to use this library:

main.cpp

#include "mbed.h"
#include "Adafruit_LEDBackpack.h"
#include "Adafruit_GFX.h"

I2C i2c(p9, p10);

Adafruit_8x8matrix matrix = Adafruit_8x8matrix(&i2c);

int main() {
    matrix.begin(0x70);
    while(1) {
        matrix.clear();
        for (int i = 0; i < 8; i++) {
          for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++) {
              matrix.drawPixel(i, j, LED_ON);  
          }
        }
        matrix.writeDisplay();  // write the changes we just made to the display
        wait(60);
    }
}

  These displays use I2C to communicate, 2 pins are required to 
  interface. There are multiple selectable I2C addresses. For backpacks
  with 2 Address Select pins: 0x70, 0x71, 0x72 or 0x73. For backpacks
  with 3 Address Select pins: 0x70 thru 0x77

  Adafruit invests time and resources providing this open source code, 
  please support Adafruit and open-source hardware by purchasing 
  products from Adafruit!
