So, I found out that even though things looked like they were working on my neopixels, they really were not. I made a board, shown here, but it didn't work out the way I wanted. A lot of the neopixels were going nuts when I told it to go faster. What I did was I added more resistance to the input of the neopixels. I have not done it here on this board, but the resistor will need to be replaced to a 1k. It should work. The chip I have here is basically a buffer chip. Last time I tested it out, all the lights turned on and stayed on. After adding more resistance, it seemed to work. I am going ot change out the resistor and see how it goes. Then I can add more lights. The video down below shows the leds going faster. It didn't have the issues I was having.
