Scanning for new info, I notice that I never put a final post here.

My scrolling text worked well for the Relay for Life.

No, I didn't ask and turns out (for my very low resolution text) that it is very easy to do scrolling text. (from right to left, anyway)  or even a big "smiley face" graphic. As long as the graphic or text can be done within a height of 8 pixels (low, low, low resolution), I can scroll it.
 
Since my width is planned to be "only"16 pixels, perhaps my next test will be how to scroll something up and down. It is probably harder, but I haven't tried.

Have you checked with Lindsay Lights to see how he did this exact thing in 2008?  I think he mentioned a program he has that helps indicate which "pixels" should be on during each step of the side scroll.

Now I have something worthwhile completed.

Here's a YouTube shot of the Aurora screen

Since there are 16 vertical poles with 8 segments each, that is an array of 128 pixels. On the Aurora Visualizer, I used the Mini-Tree tool to draw my 128 lights.

I'll post the latest Aurora file in the same folder as I did above (with the same naming workaround until they fix the MIME problem at the root of it.

All fixed now, it appears. DLS files are now allowed by my server.
