basic WS2811 string test pattern that runs through some color combos, then continuously sends a full-white (RGB 0xFFFFFF) signal to the chain every second. this is to allow for breaking the data or power connections somewhere on the chain during test pattern run time

Required Connections
--------------------
pin 2: LED Strip #1 OctoWS2811 drives 8 LED Strips.
pin 14: LED strip #2 All 8 are the same length.
pin 7: LED strip #3
pin 8: LED strip #4 A 100 ohm resistor should used
pin 6: LED strip #5 between each Teensy pin and the
pin 20: LED strip #6 wire to the LED strip, to minimize
pin 21: LED strip #7 high frequency ringining & noise.
pin 5: LED strip #8
pin 15 & 16 - Connect together, but do not use
pin 4 - Do not use
pin 3 - Do not use as PWM. Normal use is ok.
This test is useful for checking if your LED strips work, and which
color config (WS2811_RGB, WS2811_GRB, etc) they require.
