No output on RMT pin?

[N9SHazpnhYW]

I'm trying to utilize the code in your WIFI manager server for RGB LED control. I've verified FastLED library to work with my hardware, however when I try to use this code, I dont seem to get any actual output on the GPIO pin. There is no data on the pin when I check with an oscilloscope. Data looks fine on the scope with FastLED.

I am able to successfully start the WIFI server, connect, etc... I can also see the terminal printout of the RGB selection when I choose a color on the color wheel. The only problem is, there is no data being sent to the pin....

I am using pin 25:
#define WS2812_DATA_GPIO 25

I've verified that I am hitting this case in the state machine with a terminal printout:

case CLOCK_MESSAGE_BACKLIGHTS_CONFIG:{
					;rgb_t rgb;
					rgb.num = (uint32_t)msg.param;
					if(clock_config.display.led_color.num != rgb.num){
						clock_config.display.led_color = rgb;
						// display_turn_on();
						ESP_LOGI(TAG,"SET_BACKLIGHT_COLOR()");
						// ws2812_set_backlight_color(clock_config.display.led_color);
						xTaskNotifyGive( clock_task_save_nvs );
					}
					}
					break;

I also attempted to call ws2812_set_backlight_color(clock_config.display.led_color); within that case to manually send data.

I (21195) ws2812: Received R:140 G:161 B:255 I (21205) http_server: POST /backlights/ I (21205) webapp: setting backlight! I (21215) clock: got new led color I (21215) ws2812: Received R:128 G:138 B:255 I (21215) clock: SET_BACKLIGHT_COLOR() I (21225) ws2812: Received R:128 G:138 B:255

Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks in advance
