MAX7219 Helping Hand Please

[skimask]

skimask, sometimes we seem to hijack threads even when we don't intend to.
So how about taking our discussions, disputations, sparring, polysyllabic profundity, rodomontade, thrasonical bombast, and occasional psittaceous vacuity (or even simple one-upsmanship) to "Off Topic"?
Our new thread there should be S&M . . . for skimask and Martin, of course! (Let others read into it what they will . . . )
That way, we can both avoid the embarrassment of contributing to "thread bloat" that doesn't help the original poster, or, as bad or worse, leading the thread into the "Confusion Zone" that Darrel mentioned elsewhere.
I'm willing if you are . . .
Meanwhile, let's both be truly helpful.

Of course...what a great idea...

I'm facing almost same problem, but a bit different, I'm also using the same code, but I'd like to:

1. Light two decimal points at same time, while maintaining decode mode on?
2. Enable free mode, when I can light up arbitrary segments, but only for part of display? say I have 4 digit 7 segment display, I want two leftmost chars to display "AC" and remaining two chars to work in decode mode?

You still need help?

Actually, I've learned how to modify the code do display more than one decimal point. But I have no idea how to modify code to enable no decode mode and send a pattern to illuminate specific leds.
