Hi all, I am relatively new to the whole neopixel thing, and I have a quick question about the FastLED library.

I can’t get the examples to work, only the first 7 LEDs on the strip light up and flicker in all kinds of colors. I changed the type to the correct one, datapin/ledpin is also correct, but it just won’t do anything. The NeoPixel examples run perfectly on it, just not the FastLed ones.

Strip type is W2812B, it’s hooked up to an arduino lilypad simple (it’s for a wearable project), using the latest arduino version and the latest fastled library I could find on Github. Working in Windows.

I would really appreciate some help in getting this to work

What version of FastLED do you have? No of leds is correct? Show us the code.

I am using the 3.0 library I found here:

And I am using the ColorPalette example that comes with it, copy-pasted it here:

I have a strip with 60 LEDs, its on pin 6.

@Suzan_Gieles ​ Try v3.1 - https://github.com/FastLED/FastLED/tree/FastLED3.1?files=1

That did the trick, thank you so much, didn’t realise 3.1 was out already. Would +10 if I could.
