Sparkfun Thing Plus ESP32-S3 Fails After Good Compile and Download

Development Boards ESP32
12

I’m getting the same results (green when it should be black and other weirdness)
Adafruit Neopixel library works so I will go with that for now.

Arduino IDE 2.3.3, fastled 3.9.2, adafruit neopixel 1.12.3. i didn’t try older versions of FastLED
