ZeroSeg on a Raspberry Pi Zero

A improved version of code library for the ZeroSeg Raspberry Pi Zero add-on board from ThePiHut.com. This version isn't fully compliant with original ZeroSeg library. Have been created to simplify usage of it.

The ZeroSeg contains two (4-character) 7-segment displays, giving you the ability to display 8-digit data on a tiny Pi Zero sized add-on board. It also holds 2 tactile buttons for controlling data, brightness or any other element of your project.

The ZeroSeg works with any 40 GPIO pin Raspberry Pi – not just the Pi Zero - and is controlled by a MAX7219CNG integrated circuit, which manages the display of each LED segment, requiring very few GPIO pins to run the board.

This code library was originally cloned from Richard Hull's original open source MAX7219 library right here on GitHub. This has since been replaced with the luma.led_matrix library.
