Hello, I've been exploring the Raspberry Pi and purchased a LED matrix, the Max7219. I've been displaying simple messages on it. I've observed that my motherboard, the Z370-GAMING-PRO-CARBON-AC, has various pins I don't regularly use. I'm curious if I could write C or Python code to control these pins and manage the LED matrix. I've attached a screenshot of those pins since my camera resolution wasn't sufficient for this task.

If it works with USB 2, you may need an Arduino or Raspberry Pi or a similar device to convert the signals.

Certainly! You can configure your setup without needing a separate device. Since your Raspberry is already on Wi-Fi, you can connect it directly to your PC via Ethernet or use a wired connection for simplicity. This avoids extra hardware and makes installation easier.

They don't use pins in the way you might think.
