    Question Please help, any ideas to improve Scrolling Text MAX7219

    Hi, I just a few weeks ago try to figure out who to work with MAX7219 and the following example is a little program that I need to improve for scrolling messages, this example scroll JESUS in led Matrix 7x5, if you have any suggestions will be welcome at all

    @ __CONFIG _INTRC_OSC_NOCLKOUT & _MCLRE_OFF & _PWRTE_ON
    include "modedefs.bas"
    ANSEL=0: ANSELH=0: TRISB=0
    '-----VARIABLES-----
    ADDRESS var word 'variable address for display
    DATAREG var word 'variable data register for display
    Y VAR BYTE 'contador para cargar address y datareg
    X var BYTE
    DES VAR BYTE


    '----- symbolos ------
    SYMBOL CLK = PORTB.4
    SYMBOL DAT = PORTB.5
    SYMBOL LOAD = PORTB.6

    '-----PIN SETUPS-----
    low dat 'data pin for MAX7219 (1)
    low clk 'clock pin for MAX7219 (13)
    low load 'load pin for MAX7219 (12)




    '-----MAX7219 SETUP-----
    ADDRESS = $0C : DATAREG = $01 : gosub MaxWrite ' NO SHUT, NORMAL OPERATION
    ADDRESS = $09 : DATAREG = $00 : gosub MaxWrite ' COMBINACION BINARIA, NO DECODE
    ADDRESS = $0A : DATAREG = $09 : gosub MaxWrite ' INTENSIDAD DE LEDS 1(MIN) A F(MAX)
    ADDRESS = $0B : DATAREG = $06 : gosub MaxWrite ' SCAN LIMIT NUMERO DE DIGITOS
    ADDRESS = $0F : DATAREG = $00 : gosub MaxWrite
    GOSUB LIMPIAR


    INICIO:
    DES = 0
    FOR X = 1 TO 4
    FOR Y = 0 TO 6
    LOOKUP Y,[56,016,016,016,016,144,096],DATAREG ' LETTER "J"
    ADDRESS = Y+1 : DATAREG = DATAREG << DES
    GOSUB MAXWRITE
    PAUSE 10
    NEXT Y
    PAUSE 300
    DES = DES + 1
    NEXT X ' FINISH TO SCROLL


    des = 0
    for x = 1 to 4
    for y = 0 to 6
    lookup y,[248,128,128,240,128,128,248],datareg ' LETTER "E"
    address = y+1 : datareg = datareg << des
    gosub maxwrite
    pause 10
    next y
    pause 300
    des = des + 1
    next x ' FINISH TO SCROLL SECOND


    des = 0
    for x = 1 to 4
    for y = 0 to 6
    lookup y,[120,128,128,112,008,008,240],datareg ' LETTER "S"
    address = y+1 : datareg = datareg << des
    gosub maxwrite
    pause 10
    next y
    pause 300
    des = des + 1
    next x




    des = 0
    for x = 1 to 4
    for y = 0 to 6
    lookup y,[136,136,136,136,136,136,112],datareg ' LETTER "U"
    address = y+1 : datareg = datareg << des
    gosub maxwrite
    pause 10
    next y
    pause 300
    des = des + 1
    next x


    des = 0
    for x = 1 to 4
    for y = 0 to 6
    lookup y,[120,128,128,112,008,008,240],datareg ' LETTER "S"
    address = y+1 : datareg = datareg << des
    gosub maxwrite
    pause 10
    next y
    pause 300
    des = des + 1
    next x


    GOSUB LIMPIAR
    GOTO INICIO

    MaxWrite:
    shiftout DAT,CLK,MSBFIRST,[ADDRESS,DATAREG] 'Shift out the data to the 'MAX7219 'first the address, then data.
    pulsout LOAD,1 'load the data into the MAX7219
    return


    LIMPIAR:
    for Y = 1 to 7 'write $0F (blank) to all digits
    ADDRESS = Y : DATAREG = $00 : gosub MaxWrite
    next Y
    return

    Hi,
    I buy three 8x8 modules from E-bay with MAX7219 chip.
    I try this example code on one 8x8 module and it works perfect.
    Is it possible to use this code for scroll whole word "JESUS" on all three 8x8 modules and what modification are needed to make this possible
    Best regards
