LedControl: MAX7219 matrices and digit displays

// Light-up Valentine heart: a heart on an 8x8 LED matrix that beats, a big
// beat and a small one, lub-dub, at a pace you set with a knob.
//
//   MAX7219   8x8 matrix module: DIN -> pin 11, CLK -> pin 13, CS -> pin 10,
//             VCC -> 5 V, GND -> GND
//   knob      potentiometer wiper -> A0, ends to 5 V and GND
//
// Each picture is eight bytes, one per row, a 1 for every lit LED, so the big
// heart and the small heart are two short tables. A heartbeat is not one
// thump: it is two close together and then a rest, so the sketch shows the
// big heart, the small one, the big one again, then rests on the small one.
//
// The knob sets the beats a minute, from a calm 50 to an excited 140. Put the
// matrix behind a sheet of red tissue paper in a card or a little frame and
// it glows like one heart instead of 64 dots.
//
// Things to try. Turn the knob. Draw your own picture in BIG or SMALL: a
// smiling face, or your initials.
