Error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'void'

Good evening,

I apologize in advance if either a) this is a known issue that I just couldn't find or b) I'm an idiot

With that being said I am struggling with connecting the Adafruit_NeoPixel library with the IoT Cloud and continue to get this error

error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or 'attribute' before 'void'

is this solvable?

Best,
Jared
