Thank you to GolfCharlie and Claude Code for fixing the code to work with the newly changed FAA API! They have saved a lot of time. A new image has been created and will be uploaded today and available later tonight. If you don't want or need the image, you can visit https://github.com/markyharris/livesectional and incorporate the changes into your board now.

There has been another change to the FAA API which has again broke the map. We are currently working on this. Check back for fix. If you have the fix please post it. - Mark
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
