Mike by George i think you got
thanks a ton could not have done it with out your help
how ever one small thing i had to do was change the baud rate to 19200, other wise it would randomly flash again'
cant thank you enough.
small test works once it is up and running will try to post a video, extremely pressed for time with my schedule.

Hope to have a couple of sequences done by Halloween.
