I only just started using XOD and was wondering if it was possible to use it with an 8 Digit 7 Segment Display Module Max7219. And if it is please let me know how, also is it possible to add libraries from your files that you have downloaded.

Thank You.

Unfortunately the MAX7219 doesn’t appear to be supported at present. A XOD library for this display module could be created by wrapping one of the following Arduino libraries:
