Thanks again JonnyMac!

Now let me ask you, Bean or anyone who knows...

If I was to set up a large LED matrix using an SX52, is their an easier method of usage on the arrays as it looks like the limitation is 16 bits (2 ports total)?

I am thinking of most likely a 16x16 but would an 8 x 24 be possible too - array wise? I see that arrays can be up to 223 or so bytes but if the ports can only handle 16 bits then I think it makes more sense to build a 16x16 than an 8x24 LED matrix. Does this make sense?

As you can guess, this is in reference to using a modified scrolling LED routine in the NUTS & VOLTS newest issue - CGoL (LIFE).

Also - sounds like I would want to use a WDATA for the Col_Mask data statement too. 

Col_Mask:
  WDATA %00000000_00001111
  WDATA %00000000_00111100
  WDATA %00000000_11110000
  WDATA %00000011_11000000
  WDATA %00001111_00000000
  WDATA %00111100_00000000
  WDATA %11110000_00000000
  WDATA %11000000_00000011


Thanks for everyones help!
