Neopixel 8x8 Display stopped working
I made the Square Neopixel 8x8 matrix display project.I made a few modifications to it. I used the Feather Huzzah, and loaded the WLED project from github. Everything was working fine using a breadboard. I went and put the project together in it's final configuration, The neopiixel 8x8 display stopped working. I checked all the solder connections, took it all apart and hooked the 5v, GRD from the display, nothing. I've examined it with a fine tooth comb but don't see anything wrong with it. Any ideas?

Re: Neopixel 8x8 Display stopped working
In this sort of situation (worked on the breadboard, doesn't after assembly) I always suspect a soldering or wiring problem: incorrect connections, bad solder joint, accidental short.
Feel free to post clear photos for a second (or more) set of eyes.

It was a bad solder, I resoldered everything and it now works.
Thanks
