Thanks Riva, I don't know how I missed that scroll speed code. Nice touch with the code allowance for varying char widths. It's attention to detail like that that differentiate good from "top shelf" IMHO 8)
Edit - where would I / we be without Google "Kerning is an adjustment of the space between two letters" If I may ask you Riva since you obviously have a long career in programming. How does someone new to all this, learn coding particuarly with Arduino in mind. The general consensus on the forum seems to be to work through all the projects from simple to complex but from how I see it, I feel that there is a better way. Along with progressively trying more complex projects and looking at the code and trying to see how it works, I am doing a little online study in C++. What are your thoughts if I may.
