Adafruit_CircuitPython_CircuitPlayground VS Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides

First, a bit about me. My first experience with programming and electronics was in 2017. I spent a few of weeks trying to learn Python, and didn't get very far with it. While purchasing accessories for my first Raspberry Pi, I grabbed a Circuit Playground Express, having no idea what it was (I thought I could connect it to the Pi like a sensor, but that was not the case). It turns out the CPX is a stand-alone microcontroller. When I finally looked into what to do with it, I struggled for a bit before finding CircuitPython. Within a short period of time, I made an LED blink. Nothing I had done in trying to learn programming up to that point hooked me as much as that moment. It was the difference between manipulating data and manipulating the physical world. Within a month, I made my first library PR, and within 2 months, began working with Adafruit by publishing my first guide. Since then, I have become a Creative Engineer with Adafruit where, among many other things, I am a community leader, CircuitPython library project maintainer, software developer, hardware designer, and technical guide and library author.

And for a quick test code here is the adafruit neopixel test blink script using the board definitions https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Learning_System_Guides/blob/main/CircuitPython_Templates/neopixel_blink_one_pixel/code.py

On line 129 of the code on GitHub the `struct_time’ is being initialised with 9 arguments, but the CircuitPython docs and the crash info suggest that it’s expecting a tuple of 9 values. Can you just throw some parenthesis around the arguments in that call and see if it’s happy ?

Since we (Adafruit) started working on MicroPython, we've evolved our version of it, called CircuitPython, into the easiest way to get started programming microcontrollers. In CircuitPython we've focused on making the "first five minutes" smooth and rewarding. They are then followed up by a plethora of resources such as tutorials with example code and libraries. None of this would be possible without the great CircuitPython community we've grown that centers around our Discord server.

Blue eyed as I am I just copypasted the firependant.ino code (from here) into the IDE and pressed upload. It didnt work. Then I did the same with the data.h code and it also didnt work.
