Funhouse won't control micro servo and neopixel strip at sam

[diggee17]

'm recreating an Adafruit funhouse project that I found in a Make magazine from last year. It is supposed to control a micro server on pin A0 and a 30 neopixel strip on A2. It can control the neopixel strip best alone. It struggles to control the servo alone but It will NOT control both the servo and the strip together at all. As shown in the code I’m including, I have lowered the number of neopixels to 10 but that hasn’t helped.

I don’t have a Stemma Micro Servo. So I’m using a regular micro servo connected to A0 via a a female-female wire connected to a stemma male connector that I received in the Funhouse Adabox. Is this the problem is this too long of a connection?

I’m attaching picture of physical setup:

while True:
    if funhouse.peripherals.pir_sensor:

        color_chase(BLUE, 0.05)

        color_chase(WHITE, 0.05)
        my_servo.angle = 0
        time.sleep(5)
    else:
        color_chase(OFF, 0.05)
        time.sleep(5)

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
