Arduino® software requires drivers for the board used, depending on the OS and board model. Max 7221 and Max 7219 are common drivers. Some boards don’t require drivers, while others need them to be downloaded and installed. The drivers control LED displays and use a SPI interface.
When using the Arduino® software, it may be necessary to install drivers for the type of board used in an electronic device. The type of driver used depends on two factors: the type of operating system (OS) and the Arduino® board model used. Before connecting an Arduino® board to your computer, you need to determine your computer’s operating system and board model. Some of the drivers will need to come from the particular operating system company’s website, while the Arduino® drivers will be downloaded and installed from a driver website called the USB VCP. Driver bundles are extracted from a compressed file and can then be used on your computer and card.
Max 7221 and Max 7219 are commonly used as Arduino® drivers for boards and can be found on some websites. The process of installing its ports is used for one type of operating system, and these drivers are used for boards that are older models, older than the Arduino® Uno and MGA 2560 boards. If these particular boards are used, no installation is required of any driver. In other models, however, Max 7221 and Max 7219 must be downloaded from the driver site by double-clicking an icon that includes all the ports needed for the driver. An installer prompt will appear, providing driver installation instructions for the user to follow.
On a different operating system, installing the drivers requires opening certain ports after plugging in the board and downloading the Arduino® environment. To do this you need to access the system/security management window and open a device manager. On the ports icon, right clicking will provide an option to update the port software on the particular Arduino® port. Once the update is complete, the Arduino® drivers will be installed and the computer will restart to complete the installation.
The Max 7221 and Max 7219 Arduino® drivers are light-emitting diode (LED) drivers that control integrated circuits (ICs) used to drive 64 separate LEDs or up to eight digits within a seven-segment display. These drivers implement a Serial Peripheral Interconnect (SPI) compatible slave interface, controllable by the Arduino® using only three digitized output pins. Arduino® drivers have two capacitors that suppress the interference of noise signals from power line supplies. These capacitors are placed very close together and the integrated circuits are powered by 5 or more volts of electricity to operate.
