HI there! I am a newbie to arduino so I hope you can bear with me. I recently bought an 8x32 led matrix with MAX2719. The problem is that the 4 8x8 led matrices are stacked vertically and when I use the ledcontrolIMS, the text scrolls properly but the characters are in horizontal position. That way, I can only read what is scolling if it is in upright position. Is there a way or any other library I can use that supports this kind of led matrix? Thanks! I have uploaded some pictures hoping it will help in understanding my problem. the first 2 is how mine works and the 3rd pic is what I'm trying to achieve. Thank you! ![17121540_10206937594478451_1674088719_o.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/4/3/5/435c743324725d145f97d99e4378992aa7970341.jpeg) ![17121765_10206937593998439_2082430229_o.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/9/0/4/90445e60dd7860fc3ff5cac707160ccbb0f7f84c.jpeg) ![correct.jpg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/arduino/original/4X/1/2/6/126266fc74c7180fbe2518286de4380d80aa28e9.jpeg) ---

If you use the MD\_Parola and MD\_MAX72xx libraries you can tell the library you hardware type and it will compensate. Links in my signature block, below. Please make sure you read the documentation for MD\_MAX72xx on how to configure your hardware type (edit library header file). ---
