So i need to make a 11x40 led matrix for scrolling text and i also need to have a few other leds just cycle through a simple fade cycle. I was wondering the best way to do this. I want to keep it simple on the programing a wiring side. I was originally looking at the displayduino and a matrix board that is compatible that will handle the amount of leds required but all the codes i find for scrolling text appear different than the limited examples i found for that led controller board. Thanks
The main challenge is going to drive all the led. For the code your application should have enough time to do the thing it needs to do. Without any references on the hardware, I would be more concerned about the fading than the scrolling of your matrix led.

well i was looking at the displayduino board and the ledmatrix board from mondomatrix. that way i can power and also use that many leds. The Code part is where i cant find much reference on scrolling. I have used the 8x8 matrix's before for similar things but have been asked to make a specific one using the 11x40.
