Haha, embarrassing user error. I was connecting the wrong end of the neopixel strand to the JST adapter.

That's a common error. Good to hear you figured it out. Is everything working now?

Yes it is. I'm able to experiment with controlling the leds in different ways through code now. Thanks again for all of your help.
