With any MCU I can not see any info on dashboard to select displays count and other parameters.

Try clicking on View -> Component Properties. You should be able to select the Max7219 component in the properties box that appears

Looking at my post I see that the SPI chip select pin isn't appearing.. I'm sure I put it to top level ?

Will re-export and try again...

That's the problem, I do not see anything when I open Component Properties.

That means the component isn't being seen by Flowcode.

Check that you downloaded the file to the correct folder.
Try adding the component to your project again - components search.
