The problem is that the code seems to be requiring a certain timing to change the mode. The code is a one way scanner off/red/blue, and when the button is pressed, nothing happens. If the button is pressed before the scanner reaches the end of the strip and held down until it starts again from the beginning, it will change the color for the next round. This is a problem for me. I need it to change when the button is pressed. It can start the scanner from the top, that's not a problem.
