i want to use 11 yr Flora RGB pixel v2 on a wearable project

It looks like you have the right number of pixels defined for your strip:

Code: Select all

Adafruit_NeoPixel strip = Adafruit_NeoPixel(60, PIN, NEO_GRB + NEO_KHZ800);

And all the calculations are based on strip.numPixels(), so it is probably a problem with the wiring, or possibly one of the pixels. From what I can see, your wiring looks good. You can try adding a jumper to bypass the first non-working pixel. If the next pixel in the strand lights up, then we can replace the bad pixel.

Help, i was able to use the code above for fashion show but i have been trying to change the color of my LEDS to emerald green and my LEDs stay white. I compile, and it uploads but i don't get green, please help. I want to wear theses to FIT's pet fashion show this friday in NY. this is my code, By the way, Im not a programmer i have been getting help for folks who do program. is there something missing in here? this is after changes were made to the first code but its still not giving me green. My trinkets are fine so i don't know what to do. Thanks

Code: Select all

 #include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h>

#define PIN 13

// Here is where you can put in your favorite colors that will appear!
// just add new {nnn, nnn, nnn}, lines. They will be picked out randomly
//                                  R   G   B

uint8_t myFavoriteColors[][3] = {{27, 207, 83},   // Pink
                                 {27, 207, 83},   // Pink
                                 {27, 207, 83}   // Pink
                               };

// don't edit the line below
#define FAVCOLORS sizeof(myFavoriteColors) / 3

// Parameter 1 = number of pixels in strip
// Parameter 2 = pin number (most are valid)
// Parameter 3 = pixel type flags, add together as needed:
//   NEO_KHZ800  800 KHz bitstream (most NeoPixel products w/WS2812 LEDs)
//   NEO_KHZ400  400 KHz (classic 'v1' (not v2) FLORA pixels, WS2811 drivers)
//   NEO_GRB     Pixels are wired for GRB bitstream (most NeoPixel products)
//   NEO_RGB     Pixels are wired for RGB bitstream (v1 FLORA pixels, not v2)

If you want Emerald green, I'd start with shades of pure green.

Code: Select all

uint8_t myFavoriteColors[][3] = {{0, 100,0},   // dim green
                                 {0, 180, 0},   // medium Green
                                 {0, 255, 0}   // bright Green
