#190569 - Sure, if you already have 12 x MAX7219
Responding to: ???'s previous message

Will the following idea be OK ?

1. I connect the segment displays in parallel for all 12 drivers and connect the header to the MCU port pins.
2. I connect the 12 nos CS pins of MAX7219 to 12 pins of MCU. Now I can send through SPI the required digit information to any of the 12 MAX7219 that I choose by controlling the CS line..


Sure, if you already have 12 x MAX7219.
However, as Erik mentioned, these days you can add a small 8051 and a 7 wide CMOS driver like ULN2003V12 for less than a MAX7219.
