Because the display draws a lot of currents (up to 1A at maximum brightness):
因为显示器消耗了大量电流（最大亮度下高达 1A）：

Do not use the power from the 5V pin of Arduino.
请勿使用 Arduino 的 5V 引脚供电。
Use an external 5V power supply instead. Arduino and LED matrix can share power from a 5V power adapter
请改用外部 5V 电源。Arduino 和 LED 矩阵可以共享来自 5V 电源适配器的电源

Because Arduino connects to LED matrix via SPI pins:
由于Arduino通过SPI引脚连接到LED矩阵：

Pin 13 (SCK) and 11 (MOSI) on Arduino Uno must be used. If you’re using another Arduino board, check the official documentation for equivalent SPI pins.
必须使用 Arduino Uno 上的引脚 13 （SCK）和 11 （MOSI）。如果您使用的是另一块Arduino板，请查看官方文档以获取等效的SPI引脚。
Pin 3 (CS) can be changed to any pin
引脚 3 （CS）可以更改为任何引脚

How To Program For LED Matrix 如何对 LED 矩阵进行编程

It is not easy to control the LED matrix. Fortunately, libraries are available to make it easy. Below is a step-by-step on how to write Arduino code to control the LED matrix
控制LED矩阵并不容易。幸运的是，可以使用库来简化它。以下是如何编写Arduino代码来控制LED矩阵的分步操作

Include libraries: 包括库：

#include <MD_Parola.h>
#include <MD_MAX72xx.h>

Specify which hardware is being used: GENERIC_HW or FC16_HW.
指定正在使用的硬件：GENERIC_HW 或 FC16_HW。

#define HARDWARE_TYPE **MD_MAX72XX**::FC16_HW

Define how many LED block is used. for example, a 4-in-1 LED matrix has 4 blocks.
定义使用多少个 LED 块。例如，一个 4 合 1 LED 矩阵有 4 个模块。

#define MAX_DEVICES 4

Define the pin that connects to the LED matrix’s CS pin. For example, pin D3
定义连接到 LED 矩阵的 CS 引脚的引脚。例如，引脚 D3

#define CS_PIN 3

Create a new instance of the MD_Parola class for the LED matrix display.

MD_Parola ledMatrix = MD_Parola(HARDWARE_TYPE, CS_PIN, MAX_DEVICES);

Code in the setup() function:
setup（）函数中的代码：

void setup() {ledMatrix.begin();         // initialize the object ledMatrix.setIntensity(0); // set the brightness of the LED matrix display (from 0 to 15)ledMatrix.displayClear();  // clear led matrix display
}
