As far as I know the packet size for the chip is 16 bytes, which has 8 bytes of data. That means a maximum of 7 no-op bytes and as such it is limited to a maximum of 8 chips.

Thank You for the response! Makes sense.

I do not think that's the reason.

Yeah, I remember this was a wrong conclusion. More than 8 can be chained.

@klarson18 can u please send me the code to run the 8 matrix chain. because i have problem with my code
i have tried my best to make it run 8 matrix chain instead of 4. it will be very kind of u. my email id [email protected]
attached here is the code which i am using. this code is to chain 4 matrics. can you edit this code for me or if have any other code which can chain more than 4 matrices than please send me on above mentioned email id.

@voneiden can u please help me to chain 10 (8x8) matrices. I have code which is capable of running 4 matrices. i am trying to make it to run 10 matrices. but no succeeded yet. can you help me in any way. My email id [email protected] . my hardware part is done and is working but in group of 4+4+2. the attached here is the code i am using. can you make desired changes in this code to make it run 10 matrices. if not 10 than at least 8.

@klarson18 It is hardcoded in the LedControl.cpp file.
To get more than 8 matrices working go to your Arduino library folder, in my case it is located at:
C:\Users{Username}\Documents\Arduino\libraries\LedControl\src
There open the LedControl.cpp file with an editor like notepad++ and remove lines 50 and 51.
This way I was able to chain 15 matrices, though I am not sure what the maximum amount of matrices is.
