Hello, I’m new to FastLED but not new to programming in general.

@Daniel_Garcia
Sounds awesome… I’ve also tried on several others… 2 and 4 come to mind…

Have you checked basic functionality on the board? I don’t remember if 2.0 has an onboard LED, but just test a pin with a voltmeter if not…

GOT IT!!! Apparently I need to push the little button on the teensy to load a program. That’s not the way it’s been for me in the past, I’ve been able to load straight from teensyduino. Anyway, its working now. I’ll let you know if I have any other issues, but I think I’m good. Chalk one up to my own stupidity LOL!!! Thanks everybody for your help, something tells me I won’t be sleeping much tonight…
