Hi Guys,
I am trying to get this elevator thing up and running.
Using Neopixel 2811.
If you are so inclined, would you look at the code and if you see something out order?

My current issue is that the code compiles, but nothing happens.
String leds have been run with both strand test and fire - works fine.

I am wondering if the DATA_PIN needs to be called?
I added it in the addleds call, but received an error (No matching function call)

Much appreciate your assistance.

You MUST add that info in the addleds !!!
Just look into the very basic example sketches that come with FastLED

You say… both strand test and fire - works fine.
Then look carefully how these sketches have the addleds defined and you will get your answer.

Your example compiles because RGB is defined as a type that will work where the PIN field type is. Neopixels don’t use ordering in the addLeds() call.

Hi @Peter_Buelow , good point about the addLeds() with NEOPIXELS, I did not realise that you did not have the option to set RGB, GRB etc… with them.
From the FastLED Blink example, here’s a valid syntax for neopixels…
FastLED.addLeds<NEOPIXEL, DATA_PIN>(leds, NUM_LEDS);

Hi @Peter_Buelow @JP_Roy Thank you.
Even without the RGB I’m still getting the same error.
I’ll take a look at strandtest now and see if I am missing something

@Peter_Buelow @JP_Roy
I just ran it again and it is now working.
I will shoot video if anyone cares…
