Update test and firmware files to update Pixie every sec 

Send a signal to change the color of the light every second to prevent
them from getting “stuck” re:
https://learn.adafruit.com/pixie-3-watt-smart-chainable-led-pixels/

protection against the bright and hot LEDs staying 'stuck on', they
will eventually timeout if no updates are received)”
