I am running Raspbian Jessie on a Pi 2 ... when I try and execute "npm install max7219", it fails.

Here are some of the relevant details:

$ uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.15-v7+ #830 SMP Tue Dec 15 17:02:45 GMT 2015 armv7l GNU/Linux

$ node -v
v4.2.1

$ npm -v
2.14.7

NPM debug log attached

npm-debug.txt

Later ...
I found that I could run:

$ npm install spi

which installed 0.2.0 of SPI

This however was not compatible with max7219 which wants ~0.1.0

I downloaded the max7219 package and manually changed the dependency to ~0.2.0 and all now appears to work once installed.

I think we need to look at "freshening" this package to later code levels.

In the README document for the function setDigitSymbol, there is no "dp" parameter in the syntax but there is in the code.
