Hey everyone , this is my first post here !

So, i would like to use my spare Max7219 modules and daisy chain them. I know how to do it. When i start interfacing them to MobiFlight, and there is option where i can choose how many i have daisy chained. Does this setting reflect on this settings screen in picture ?

I heard the word "daisy chaining" first time today.... but i´m shure you mean "Building a row of MaxModules with using the Dout Pin.....

In Moniflight the "row" of Max Modules is in "Devices" just one Entry and not specified the number. The entry there is still the same like with only a single Max module.
You NOT have to define there how many Modules are wired together on this device.

Little Problem is.... All Maxmodules in this Row got the same "Device Name" when you config them in Mobiflight.
In Youre Example the name "Com1 Display" in Adrr/Connector field is used for ALL Maxmodules you wired together on this Device.

To set witch MaxModule you want to use for this Config you need to set the Number right of the Addr Field seperated by a "/" .... in youre Example it´s just "1" at the moment.
Use the Dropdown Menu to set e.g. 2 for the second Displaytube in the Row or 3 for the third one and so on.

EDIT: THIS INFORMATION WAS WRONG ! Just ignore.... My apolgy

This is where you setup the number of displays you want to daisy chaine:

And here you choose in which module to display the digits.
