I am using a matrix, 54 w,7 tall. I like scroll, but have trouble getting it to pause long enough to see whats written. I am using LEDText example1 as guide.

Do you mean the text is scrolling across too quickly to read? Or it scrolls in and stops, but does not stop for as long as you’d like before doing something else?
If you want to share your code, please put it on http://gist.github.com and share the link.

The Horiz scroll has been slowed down enough to read but the Vert scroll is too fast and has no delay. to use the gethub is their a cost?

#include <FastLED.h>

// Change the next 6 defines to match your matrix type and size

cLEDMatrix<MATRIX_WIDTH, MATRIX_HEIGHT, MATRIX_TYPE> leds;

cLEDText ScrollingMsg;

const unsigned char TxtDemo[] = { EFFECT_FRAME_RATE “\x02”
EFFECT_HSV_AH “\x00\xff\xff\xff\xff\xff”

                              EFFECT_SCROLL_UP "WELCOME"
                              //EFFECT_DELAY_FRAMES "\x00\x40"
                              
                              EFFECT_SCROLL_LEFT "COLORADO LIGHT ENTHUSIASTS"
                              //EFFECT_DELAY_FRAMES "x01\x00"

This compiled ok when not commented but when executed it repeats the first message and never gets to the second message.

No, there is no cost. You don’t even have to create a login. By using http://gist.github.com to share code it’s easier for people to view on mobile devices, G+ won’t mangle the code, and line numbers can be referenced for discussion.

@marmil SOLVED. Syntax error EFFECT_DELAY_FRAMES “x01\x00” should have been “\x01\x00”. Thanks for your input.
