I'm really just wanting one pixel (the last pixel in the string) to not be a part of the prop and not turn on, just pass the data. I had to reconfigure my mega tree and I wound up with a total of nine pixels on my mega tree (spread thru out the base of the tree; the last pixel on every third string of 50) that are in between the strips and I don't want them to come on. I can cut them out and re-solder the strings together, but just trying to avoid that. I know this sounds confusing, so I'll take a picture in the morning and attach it and that should make it easier to understand what I'm trying to do.
