One thing to make sure with connecting the pixels is to be aware of what direction data of the pixels are supposed to go as I wrongly assumed they could go in either direction but it is only one direction
Yes, pixels have a set data input and output. We've all made mistakes as newbies wiring them backwards! 😅 It's even worse accidentality wiring 5v pixels to a 12v power supply!
There's at least one version of those seed pixels that hard-codes the pixel number into each pixel. It'll still work, but you might notice the missing pixel in pre-programmed patterns.
Yes! I've seen these mentioned on forums and mini trees sold by Bunnings have the first pixel with a hard coded start address. The idea of a hard coded start address can be really useful for icicles and other props. I'm yet to find a supplier of the 'smart t' connectors, which is a hard coded start address but splits the data off two outputs.
Great video. I have 2" spacing and would not have thought about sacrificing a pixel to gain wire to work with.

How would you solder the 2.50 fairy lights together the space between each bulb
