Using a file compare utility there is definitely a difference between the .hex and .dll files from what RJ posted and what's in the Wiki.

Sam, who is happy he flashed his etherdongle with newest firmware!

RJ, and everyone helping with this issue.  I know the fix has already posted on the site, but it is truley the fix. RJ, you may verywell make Albert Einstein look like the kid sitting in the corner with a cone on his head. You and this site are truley brilliant.
Thank you everyone and I am sorry I could not test earlier. I had been working for 29 hours non-stop and did not want my human error to effect the outcome.

Finally got around to reprogramming my etherdongles and I don't think EtherDongle2.hex is the right firmware either.

This firmware solves the boundary pixel problems, but it does not output the pixelnet smothly. With the first first etherdongle firmware, the motion on my sign was fluid, but with etherdongle2.hex, the motion is mostly jerky with stretches of smoth motion mixed in. Only difference is the firmware.

RM I am agreeing with you.  Can you post some video to Vimeo so we can see what it is your are talking about.  When I have an S scrolling it really looks like a fluttering snake. I am out on travel for a week and can not get any video. It could be the refresh rate, but I am not sure.Kevin
