Hello. I would appreciate any help or suggestions that anyone could give me in order to get this NeoPixel Flex strip to work, being powered by an Adruino Uno Wifi Rev 2. This is for a bar lighting project that I have been working on for a while.
I have put together a breadboard circuit (see the photo below), and checked connections, resistance, and power on virtually everything. I have tried the sample strandtest program, nothing. I tried the sample RGBWstrandtest program, still nothing. I've tried both Pin 6 and Pin 5, nothing. The Adruino works, because I ran the basic LED blink test sample program and that worked. I have changed NeoPixel strips, nothing. I have changed Adruinos, nothing.
I have got to believe that I have 5V going to the strip. So, my thoughts are that it has got to be the data line coming out of the controller.
Just wondering what I am doing wrong, or how to troubleshoot this.
Again, any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Mike

Can you post a picture of the flex strip connector flat on so I can see the connection? your other picture is great but just a bit hard to follow.

Re: Adruino Uno Wifi to NeoPixel Flex
what is the exact product ID of the NeoPixel strip you are using?
do you have any other microcontroller boards?
