enable neopixel, not work with ws2812 ? WS2812 work with fastled lib, how to modify to use neopixel ?

From Adafruit: "Not all addressable LEDs are NeoPixels.“NeoPixel” is Adafruit’s brand for individually-addressable RGB color pixels and strips based on the WS2812, WS2811 and SK6812 LED/drivers, using a single-wire control protocol. Other LED products we carry — DotStars, WS2801 pixels, LPD8806 and “analog” strips — use different methodologies (and have their own tutorials). When seeking technical support in the forums, a solution can be found more quickly if the correct LED type is mentioned, i.e. avoid calling DotStars “NeoPixels”…similar, but different!"

I would try using Neopixel library examples. If it doesn't work... talk to Adafruit or the supplier of your strip.

This is not a Marlin issue. Leds recognized or not by the Neopixel library is out of Marlin's scope.

FastLED supports more types of 5050 leds than Neopixel.
