Thanks for the tip off. I've updated the code to shift right by 3 places and so go back to a 5 bit number. That's a neat way of limiting the power usage.

The actual string I have is three wires. Data and + - it’s likely they have been swapped out for cheaper lesds now, or the picture is wrong.

I haven't added any fault tolerance. Should be fairly easy to detect if a route is unavailable and re-write the routing table. And yes, I expect the Pi is still a bottleneck.
