Using a 28X1 or 28X2 to create Scroll effect with a Max7219.
Good Evening Forum!
I have spent some time reading lots of post regards the Max7219, from segment and column control to fade each column and scroll a Msg !!!
Thanks to many like Mr Martin, and Mr. Westaust who have posted and showed us how to use their codes to Our needs!
On my personal experience I Learn lots more by reading sample codes and digesting line by line how and why it works.
Then start from There.
So, I learned to scroll a Msg on a 8X8 led matrix!
Also added a second matrix, learned to display the Msg on both matrices!
Using the no_op register I can display the Msg on either or Matrix!
Now here is where I'm stuck....
2 matrix = 16 columns, how can I Get the MSG to scroll across all 16 columns seamlessly?
Exp. Msg to display "HI Picaxe Users! "This is what I get (2 matrix) HI HI Pi Pi ca ca xe xe.
this is how I'm sending the data to the Max7219:
also attached is the full code.

Code:
SendTo_Max7219:
LOW CS
'SHIFTOUT CLK,SDATA,1,(noop,noop) 'sends data to first max7219
SHIFTOUT CLK,SDATA,1,(maxreg,maxdata) ' sends data to both max7219
'SHIFTOUT CLK,SDATA,1,(noop,noop) 'sends data to second max7219
HIGH CS
RETURN
