No, the two nagging pixels on the end aren't intentionally left on. But, there is always a work around for that. The next step for me is to implement the colorwheel so I can have each pixel be a different color. But, I haven't attempted to use the colorwheel yet cause in the test strip code it looked a little complicated for me lol. So I'm sure in time I'll be asking for help with it if I'm not able to comprehend it lol. But, I appreciate your help in getting my code fixed!
