Hi it seems as if only square configs are possible. I tried 3 x 32 x 32 Modules but doesn't seems to work with display test Am I wrong ?

@ts4pi, i was also under the impression that we could configure a matrix that did not have to be a perfect square. I'm trying to configure a 128 x 64 matrix and i cannot get 2/4 panels to configure.

this is my transformation configuration: panels = ( ( { order = 4; rotate = 180; }, { order = 5; rotate = 180; }, { order = 6; rotate = 180; }, { order = 7; rotate = 180; } ), ( { order = 3; rotate = 0; }, { order = 2; rotate = 0; }, { order = 1; rotate = 0; }, { order = 0; rotate = 0; } ) )

hello,

i also tried to configure a 128x64 matrix display, but had no luck. i'm using two 64x64 panels with E line and patched my adafruit hat. the examples from hzeller's original library work all fine with my 128x64 matrix. i guess those matrices with E line are not supported, because they are not sold by adafruit.

maybe someone can provide a patch?
