Datasheet

There are also a few small routines that are special to the matrix:
setBrightness(
brighness
)- will let you change the overall brightness of the entire display. 0 is least bright, 15 is
brightest and is what is initialized by the display when you start. You can call this function at any time to change
the brightness of the -entire- display
blinkRate(
rate
) - You can blink the entire display. 0 is no blinking. 1, 2 or 3 is for display blinking.You can call this
function at any time to change the blink rate of the -entire- display
The default orientation for graphics commands on this
display places pixel (0,0) at the top-left when the header
is at the left and Adafruit logo at the right. To use the
matrix as shown above (header at top, logo at bottom),
call matrix.setRotation(3) before issuing graphics
commands.
