problem working with MD Parola

Using Arduino Displays
#1

Objective :i have created a 64 X 32 display using 8X8 dot matrix for which i am using MD parola library to print multiple charcters big, small, special , graphics etc

Platform : aurdino on proteus

Schematic : PDF attached

Code :

#include <MD_Parola.h>
#include <MD_MAX72xx.h>
#include "Font_Data.h"

#define	MAX_DEVICES	16
#define MAX_ZONES 2
#define ZONE_SIZE (MAX_DEVICES/MAX_ZONES)

#define	CLK_PIN		13
#define	DATA_PIN	11
#define	CS_PIN		10

MD_Parola P = MD_Parola(CS_PIN, MAX_DEVICES);

void setup(void)
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  delay(2000);
  P.begin(MAX_ZONES);
  P.setInvert(false);
  P.setIntensity(0);
  
  P.setZone(0, 0, ZONE_SIZE-1);
  P.setZone(1, ZONE_SIZE, MAX_DEVICES-1);
}

void loop(void)
{
    
          delay(1000);
          P.setZone(0, 0, ZONE_SIZE-1);
          P.setZone(1, ZONE_SIZE, MAX_DEVICES-1);
          P.setFont(0, BigFontBottom);
          P.setFont(1, BigFontUp);
          P.displayZoneText(0, "aaaaaaaaaaaa", PA_CENTER, 30, 0, PA_PRINT, PA_NO_EFFECT);
          P.displayZoneText(1, "aaaaaaaaaaaa", PA_CENTER, 30, 0, PA_PRINT, PA_NO_EFFECT);
          P.synchZoneStart();
         
      while (!P.getZoneStatus(0) || !P.getZoneStatus(1))
      P.displayAnimate();
    
}

Problem:

but i am facing a problem as in shown in image

mainly i am not able to view what so ever displayed in the last 8X8 module

this problem follows a pattern if i add some more matrices

now the same problem if i add more 8 matrices like below

Shouldn't you be asking Proteus for help? It is commercial software.

i feel, they have got nothing to do with MD Parola library, if there is any electrical problems or any simulation problems we can reach them.

this problem for me more seems like a logical problem than simulation problem.

This problem does not occur with real hardware. I would suggest that it is a simulator problem.

Thanks i am planning to get hardware soon, will revert back if i get the same problem
