The program works for me in current maker (0.11.38). Can you press “Share” and share the link to the failing program here? (this is regarding the original issue)

Go to the bottom of the home screen and click about to see the maker version.

I just tried the first piece of code and it works ok inthe editor and makes a `.UF2` file. This is using Chrome against [https://maker.makecode.com/](https://maker.makecode.com/)

```auto
MakeCode Maker (Cortex class) version: 0.11.43

Microsoft MakeCode version: 5.26.4

codal-circuit-playground runtime version: v2.0.1

```

Actually, one _interesting difference_ is the `show animation` block is controlling a second array of NeoPixels in mine, they appear in the simulator on `D2` pin:

 ![gemma-m0-two-neopixel-strips](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/1X/ea318ce7e0dfb031c5ddcf5d6142823445c46234.png)

I’ve seen the `show animation` block used for the Circuit Playground Express with its built-in ring of 10 mini NeoPixels. I don’t know how it functions on the Gemma M0 which has a _single_ mini DotStar (not a NeoPixel) on the board? Is the expectation here that creating a variable called `strip` makes it work with `show animation`? [Added later] Oh, I see this was fixed in the second version of the code.

Might be worth starting a new project with a new name and re-creating it to see if this still doesn’t work?

BTW, 30 NeoPixels at full brightness (50-60mA) is 1.5A-1.8A.

I put in [GH: microsoft/pxt-maker: On Gemma M0 using code for the on-board RGB LED also creates external LED strip in simulator #260](https://github.com/microsoft/pxt-maker/issues/260) to deal with some of weirdness here.

Thanks the video helps a lot. The grey block means our decompiler wasn’t able to translate the python code into blocks (it’s a bug). It shows up as a grey JavaScript block because the conversion goes python -\> javascript -\> blocks. Still something we need to work on.

The bug is due to rountripping to python. Stay in blocks for now.
