I have gotten a few strips of the NeoPixel 60 pixel per meter strip (3 5 meter strips and 1 2 meter). It's meant for a large holiday tree display.
I cannot, for the life of me, get any of them to show any lights. Originally I was trying with the Spark, but have since moved to an Ardunio Yun in hopes to minimize any possible issues.
I have set up the strand test:

I have also set up the wiring like the Ardunio example.

I am definitely a novice at this stuff, but I have gotten similar set ups before. I was able to get the strand test working with an 8 pixel neopixel board.
I really don't even know what to do next. Any help would be appreciated.

Could you post clear, detailed pictures of your strands and the connections to it? Have you gotten the 8 pixel board to work on your present setup? What are you using for power?

Re: NeoPixel strips not showing at all
Thanks for the reply. I actually got this to work. The strand of lights came backwards (the out end soldered with connections). And though I checked for this many times, I just had it in my head all wrong on what I needed to see. So, the issue was that I was an idiot. All working now.
