How to use 11x7 matrix lib for uPython on Pi Pico

How to use 11x7 matrix lib for uPython on Pi Pico?
Until now I used .py libs only on microcontrollers running uPython.

Do you mean the Pico Scroll?

You’ll need to install Pimoroni’s uPython firmware: see the guide here.

There is documentation on the functions which you can use here.

No, Pico Scroll is included already.
There is a 11x7 matrix breakout what I want to use.

I think I found a library at matrix11x7-python/is31fl3731.py at master · pimoroni/matrix11x7-python · GitHub

But at first I have to sleep ;-)

Ah, I understand now.

That library was writte for standard Python, which unfortunately isn’t exactly the same as MicroPython. I expect the main thing which would need changed is the way it accesses the I2C bus. Pimoroni seem to be gradually working through the breakouts and creating MicroPython code for them.

That’s fine. Will wait.

I’m looking for the same thing. PicoW with breakout garden and the 11x7 matrix. The matrix is shown in the list of supported breakouts but I can’t find any micropython examples.

This what your looking for?

Thanks! I was literally just coming back to say I’d found it. Somehow I’d ended up down the C++ rabbit-hole (which I didn’t want). #BrainFog

Been there done that, it’s micropython then examples.
Instinct when you get linked to that page is to click examples.
