The string has three wires (guessing L, L N) and the original controller had modes like:
1. Combination / 2. In Waves / 3. Sequential / 4. SLO-GLO / 5. Chasing/Flashing / 6. Slow Fade / 7. Twinkle/Flashing / 8. Steady On
I think half the LEDs will be in parallel on one L, the other half in parallel on the other L with a shared N.
It's times like this I wish I had a Labpack like we used to use in physics class...

You can get an integrated circuit chip that you toss an integer into and it activates x amount of outputs (depending on the binary representation of the integer). I dont recall the part number though. I think you can get them with up to 64 outputs so you'd have to use two of them.
If you're interested I can get the part number of the ones we use.
However, like Dave said, I'd imagine that the LED's are wired in parallel and not individually addressable.

Be careful! That is probably a TTL level driver, so it isn't going to be too happy with 24V on it's outputs!
|

Good point. You're exactly right. The 24V part slipped my mind. We use 5V LED's so I guess, in my mind, I associated "LED" with "5V". Could set up a bank of switching circuits but that may be a lot of trouble for Christmas lights.

For the last couple of days, my ring has been itching and there's an awful rash. It has got so bad I've had to change finger.

Why don't you just listen to the Wizard and give this ring to a hobbit who will destroy it for you?

Oh no! At times of stress I'm always playing with my ring.

Probably why it itches then?
|
|
|
|
|
More likely because I never take it off.

I would advise you to be very careful when using a different finger to do the job the ring finger is intended to do. Whatever you do, do not use the nose-picker finger instead.

My understanding is that the traditional Hungarian house-husband nose-ring, inserted by the bride during the four-day wedding ceremony, after the walk over live coals, often itches.
Changing the finger you scratch the itch with sounds like a very reasonable strategy, but you might also consider asking she-who-must-be-obeyed to extend your leash.
