I'm trying to display some leds with the MAX6956.
I use µC MSP430 with I2C mode which send commands to the MAX6956.
This one seems to answer correctly ( with ACK) but I don't see a led "on".
My commands for the MSP430 is Ox80 (slave adress) ,then 0x07(test display) and finally 0x00 (normal operation).
Can someone help me how can we display some leds ? what are the right commands ?

Thanks

I think you need to turn on the MAX6956 by writing to register 0x04 with 0x01. Then write to register 0x07 with 0x01.
