Python code a Max7219/7221 7 segment driver

[Aggie64]

I am trying to use Pythons 3 SPI code to write directly to a MAX7219/7221 seven segment driver. I have written the code and connected a MAX7219 to my Raspberry Pi 4. I want to write directly to the MAX7219 without using any of the libraries that exist for a MAX7219.

Does anyone have any Python code using SPI to directly write to a MAX7219 without using any MAX7219 libraries that they would share?

If I do not get the project working, I will post my code and my circuit diagram. I am using a scope and the signals look like I believe they should b3 .

Thanks!
