Using Colorduino it says done uploading but still in default

When programmed it says Done Uploading.

The issue is that the neopixel that has been inserted into the colorduino keeps repeating its default settings rather than showing the uploaded code whether it be the demo plasma morph code or code that I have written.

GitHub - lincomatic/Colorduino: Colorduino Interface Library for Arduino
Where I obtained the library for the Colorduino

Colorduino | Nick's LED Projects (wordpress.com)
This page details how I connected the colorduino to the Arduino board.

Any help will be appreciated

Which version of the IDE?

Where did you find that you can use a neopixel? Note that NeoPixel is an addressable LED and as far as I can see it's not supported (but I might have missed it).

Did you follow the instructions how to upload to the ColorDuino? If you used the Uno based approach, did you remove the 328P from the Uno, else you might have programmed the Uno and not the ColorDuino?

I'm using the windows version of Arduino, IDE 2 I think.

Yeah I initially thought it would be programmed as a Neopixel but for some reason maybe due to the colorduino board it doesn't need to be (not fully sure though).

I have now removed the chip out of an old Arduino uno board I had and uploaded the code.

But now it is giving me these errors:

avrdude done.  Thank you.

Which COM port did you select in the IDE? Does that COM port disappear when you disconnect the Uno?

Please show a clear picture of the wiring between the Uno and the Colorduino. You might have swapped RX and TX around.
