Hi all,
I've just started to tinker with a Teensy 3.2 for the first time after finding out that the Teensy + Prop Shield is perfect for my WS2812 project. I've soldered the prop shield to the Teensy, tested it out to make sure there weren't any issues with my solder joints, and proceeded to hook up the 5V, GND, and CLK signals to the corresponding 5, C, and D on the prop shield. I am now trying to run, just as a test, FirstLight and I'm not getting anything lit up. The strand I'm using is a known working strand of 21 WS2812s, which I know is too many to power all at once but shouldn't be for running FirstLight. I believe I have set the parameters properly...
And I've uncommented the correct LED line...
I have checked my connections and there is 5V across the LED rails so it's getting power...so the only thing that could be wrong is the clock signal. I hope I'm just missing something exceedingly stupid. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Code:
// How many leds are in the strip?
#define NUM_LEDS 21
// Data pin that led data will be written out over
#define DATA_PIN 11
And I've uncommented the correct LED line...
Code:
// FastLED.addLeds<WS2811, DATA_PIN, RGB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
FastLED.addLeds<WS2812, DATA_PIN, RGB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
// FastLED.addLeds<WS2812B, DATA_PIN, RGB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
