Hi,
i want to create a newsticker with a row of 8x8 LED-Matrix.
The first step was installing max7219. Executing the demo give the result, that a single 8x8 matrix works fine.
Then i found an article that for using more then one 8x8-Matrix an other module have to installed. So i just installed the "multilineMAX7219". I opened the config an add my Matrix-Setup to the file. After that i start a matrix_test.py but nothing happened.
In the single mode every Matrix works fine but not in a row. I´d like to use 2 Rows with 4 Matrix finally. But the half size with just one rows doesnt works.
Used Hardware: Pi B Rev2.0, Raspian-Stretch (June 2018), 8x8 Matrix (four in a row)

SPI and using GPIO over SSH are activated.
I dont wanna make specials with the matrix, just showing some letters as a ticker. That cant be so difficult or not?
Receiving Data about rss-feed is the next step. So i need a way to use a shell command for executing an individual text.
Is there someone who can help me started a functional matrix?
