Hi,
I have tried using the "DiscoStrobe" FastLED pattern in Arduino IDE 2.0.3 only to get the following compiler errors:

I believe I've found a similar/if not the same issue on a forum post
here.
It looks like the problem was solved in Arduino IDE 1.8.5 (quite a while back I know), but I seem to be having the same problem again.
Does anyone know how to resolve this/if I'm missing something stupid?
Thanks,
Adam
