Hi I’m having a hard time turning on the neopixel port to turn on an adafruit 8x8 neopixel matrix as an arc reactor, I have tried uploading 3.2.x and changing the value to 64 for the number of LEDs, but the led does not turn on when I plug it in, I’m not sure if there’s anything else in the code that I’m missing, any help would be appreciated

Did you uncomment line 49?
From this:
//#define ARC_REACTOR
To this:
#define ARC_REACTOR

Did you download the entire git repository from our site?

Ok. Looks like there was a breaking change in FastLED with my code. I fixed it. Download the latest from our github site.
