Hi, I have two Green 0832 LED Matrix's from Sure Electronics Interfaced this way to an Arduino Duemilanove:
| Display Label | Arduino DIO | Sure's Connector |
| CS1 | 4 | 3 |
| CS2 | 5 | 1 |
| WR | 8 | 5 |
| DATA | 9 | 7 |
| RD | 10 | 6 |
| GND | gnd | 11 |
| +5V | +5V | 12 |
The Data Sheet can be found here:http://alastair.d-silva.org/system/files/DE-DP105_Ver1.0_EN_0.pdf
I have been able to display text on one display.
What I want to do is display text on both of the displays.
From your datasheet, it seems to be possible to cascade the displays so that it can be controlled as a 864 or a 1632 display. I would go that way and save my Arduino-pins. As an added benefit, you already have the software done mostly.

I need help modifying these.
Hello, I really need help.
I need help modifying these.
OK. Change all the 7s to 3s.
Or, maybe you had some other change in mind. My crystal ball is dirty, and I'm out of Windex.
With the font?
try using the matrix display library found here:
http://milesburton.com/index.php/Arduino_%26_the_Sure_2416_Information_Display
The library is fairly easy use. '
If you want to scroll the text across the two screens check out this thread:
http://www.arduino.cc/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1275865385/0
Right now there are some issues with the scrolling function being limited to 11 characters. I have some crude work arounds if you are interested.
:(Ok, I have tried so hard to get this to work. I have searched for hours, tested for hours, and I cant get this thing to work!!>:(
Change
HT1632 *matrix[4];
to
HT1632 *matrix[2];
and Take the 'false' statement out of the
matrix[1] = new HT1632(MHV_ARDUINO_PIN_5,MHV_ARDUINO_PIN_8,MHV_ARDUINO_PIN_10,MHV_ARDUINO_PIN_9, HT1632::pmos_8commons, false );
Think That's it.
Is the #1 display working now?
Sadly that does not work 
if you
comment out or delete
case 64
case 96
And the kicker
unit8_t max col=128;
to
unit8_t max col=64;
That should do it.
it's now working on mine.
Ok I now have it displaying messages. I now need a 16 point font since my displays are stacked. Also how would I modify the code to display as 32x16? And it would be great if some one could use this program: http://www.retromodelisme.com/photo/font.zip to make me a 16 point font, as I am using a Mac.

Ironically just enough for "hello world"
I'm interested in you workaround?
