Is there any way to skip the first led of each strip in the platformio\_override.ini the same way I can assign output pin ids and led counts using DATA\_PINS and PIXEL\_COUNTS?

maybe some form of SKIP\_COUNT=1,1,1,1,1,1

for example:

```auto
    -D DATA_PINS=25,26,27,14,32,33
    -D PIXEL_COUNTS=1,1,1,1,1,1
    -D SKIP_COUNT=1,1,1,1,1,1

```

No, there isn’t.  
And it is not very easy to add one.
