NeoPixels with Trinket M0 won't even turn on

Post by gsandthose »

Hello!

I am attempting to run some skinny NeoPixels with a Trinket M0 and can't get even the most basic code working.

While I am using strips instead of rings, I am following the Kaleidoscope Eyes (Trinket-Powered NeoPixel LED Ring Goggles) tutorial. However, when I attempt to run any code (I've been trying the basic tests like StrandTest, Simple, etc.), the NeoPixels do nothing. Not even a blink. I've tried multiple different parts of the strand of NeoPixels that I bought, both soldering my own connections and repurposing the ones that the strand came with.

There are no shorts or areas where solder bridges the gap between two pads. Considering that I can't get the NeoPixels to do anything, I have no idea how to figure out whether they're defective or this is user error.

Any help would be so, so greatly appreciated.
