Ran through all test sketches. Nothing will provide visible feedback from the neopixels
Can anyone advise or give me a pointer to get headed in the right direction?

My last thought was to grab a multimeter and check to see if i am getting 5v data from board to pixels

Are you providing the signal to the correct end of the pixels?
