Arduino display shield with two 8x8 LED matrices


Apparently, the single 8x8 LED matrix in Wise Clock is not big enough to properly read scrolling messages, so my friends suggested I should make the display bigger.
With minimal changes (hardware and software), I was able to meet their "requirement". So, instead of a bi-color (red/green) matrix, I connected 2 single color (red) matrices to the same shield. Next step was to modify the sketch to use the bigger field.
