'''
 Demonstrates the use of MAX7219, Scrolling display.
 
 * Demonstrate to display the scrolling display.
 * Four numbers of the MAX7219 are connected in daisy chain.
 * 8x8 dot matrix module, (64 LEDs) is connected with each MAX7219
 * totally 8x8x4 = 256 LEDs forming with 8 rows of 32 columns Display area.
 
 * The Raspberry Pi Pico pin connections are MAX7219 given below: 

 * MAX7219 VCC pin to VBUS
 * MAX7219 GND pin to GND
 * MAX7219 DIN pin to digital GPIO3
 * MAX7219 CS pin to digital GPIO5
 * MAX7219 CLOCK pin to digital GPIO2
