+// Package unoqmatrix provides a driver for the UnoQMatrix LED matrix display.
+//
+// The UnoQMatrix is an 8x13 LED matrix display that can be controlled using a single pin.
+// It uses a multiplexing technique to control the LEDs, which allows for a large number of LEDs to be controlled with fewer pins.
+//
+// This driver provides basic functionality to set individual pixels, clear the display, and refresh the display.
+//
+// Note: The UnoQMatrix does not support brightness control or color depth. Each pixel can only be turned on or off.
+// Could it suppport brightness control by using PWM on the pin? To be investigated.
