Different lights in stealthburner neopixels and are my neopixelstrips dead?

[JBC]

I'm having some strange problems with my stealthburner neopixels. The colors are all different. If i set the color to blue the nozzle lights are red and green. It seams as iff the control for the lower leds is different somehow, but i can't figure out why. Does anyone have an idea? The main led gives me no problem at all.

This is the control:

[neopixel sb_leds]
pin: EBBCan:gpio16
chain_count: 3
color_order: GRB
initial_RED: 0.2
initial_GREEN: 0.2
initial_BLUE: 0.2

Also i ordered two neopixel strips a while back, but i can't seem to get them to work. Is there a way to check if they are dead? I've tried to use a different data pin on my Octopus pro (the BLtouch one) and i double checked if there was voltage. The 5V line works just fine. It might be possible that i messed up at the beginning (forgot to double check where the data line on the strips needed to go). Could it be possible that i fried the strips with that action?

If they were working before then I would guess there is a loose connection between the status LED and the lower LEDs most likely on the data wire.

When I swapped my tool head wiring to the hartk 2-piece PCB setup it messed up my LEDs. This is a known issue and the solution is add a 220ohm resistor in the signal wire. I wonder if that's what you are seeing.

This is sadly from the beginning. I've checked the wiring and there is no problem.

I've not tried that solution. I will order a couple of resistors. Any idea if that would solve the other neopixelboards aswell?

I don't know. My case lights are directly connected to the BL Touch port on my Octopus and never had any issues.
