Bunnings have this interesting tree this year, and yes it uses pixels. I am trying to figure out how it works.
The image below shows the center topper, inside that topper is a round PCB with no components attached. It has a common + - and Data track that every single string attach to, there is no Data in -> Data out. Each of the strings only contains 3 wires.
Each pixel has been numbered in the image, pixel 1, pixel 2, pixel 3. The first pixel in every single string appears to be able to operate independently from that of every other pixel yet they get the same data feed.
I believe these run the ws281x protocol as I have attached pixels to the end of these strings and they operate without issue.
This is all I have been able to find at the moment.
