# Import all board pins.

import board
import busio

# Import the HT16K33 LED matrix module.
from adafruit_ht16k33 import matrix


# Create the I2C interface.
i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

# Create the matrix class.
# This creates a 16x8 matrix:
matrix = matrix.Matrix16x8(i2c)
# Or this creates a 16x8 matrix backpack:
# matrix = matrix.MatrixBackpack16x8(i2c)
# Or this creates a 8x8 matrix:
# matrix = matrix.Matrix8x8(i2c)
# Or this creates a 8x8 bicolor matrix:
# matrix = matrix.Matrix8x8x2(i2c)
# Finally you can optionally specify a custom I2C address of the HT16k33 like:
# matrix = matrix.Matrix16x8(i2c, address=0x70)

# Clear the matrix.
