I need to add a few LED’s to a string of 50, does it matter if I get them from the end of another string? The sequence number isn’t hard coded is it? This is the WS2811 type.

You can add them to the end, just make sure the direction of the wiring is the same. They don’t know what number they are, the pi figures it out via the data wire. 

thanks,

Bill

To expand on Bills reply, be sure the arrow that is on the all the lights you add match the arrow's direction of the main string of 50 you have. If you look at the small circuit board that is at the base of each LED, you should be able to see the arrow. - Mark
