Publishing/Posting of this tutorial has been delayed for a while (I was going to post in late December 2012) but other matters arose.
The MAX7219 7-segment LED driver chip has been around for a while now and there have been several recent posts where forum members have sought assistance.
This tutorial will hopefully help those who, at a future date, wish to use the MAX7219 7-Segment LED driver for the first time.
EDIT:
Tutorial updated to Rev D as the Clock and Load signals in the schematics were swapped (and did not match the program code)
