#Can't get Neopixels to work on BTT Octopus 1.1

Hi all, I'm using the PB0 port on J37, along with 5V and GND, connected to my disco on a stick. Picture below is me testing it with an Arduino with a basic Neopixel library, which works.
Here's what I tried:

  1. Changed my config pin to PB10
  2. Changed my data pin to PB7
  3. Repeatedly adjusted the color slider via Fluidd
  4. Used a multimeter and verified that the voltage on the neopixel's end is 5v
  5. Performed a successful continuity check on the data pins on both ends
  6. Tried RGB, GRBW, RGBW, etc
  7. Added a 470 Ohm resistor just before the data pin on the Neopixel's end
  8. Tried with a different set of much shorter cables

All didn't result in a single LED being lit up.

Here's the part of my .cfg file:

[neopixel chamber_leds]
pin: PB0
chain_count: 18
color_order: GRB
initial_RED: 1
initial_GREEN: 0
initial_BLUE: 0

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I put it back in its shelf so it'd take me quite a while to take a pic but I've triple checked that I connected it correctly to J37. 5V to 5V, GND to GND, PB0 to DIN on the neopixel. Confirmed via continuity checks

And by second neopixel definition I mean one named the same as this one.

Ok, I'll check that. Thanks for your time 🫡

I changed to 24V daylight on a stick, I couldn't find the issue
