Neopixels and effects should be enough.
Which version of the plugin are you using?
So I just verified, that the latest update, that I pushed yesterday introduced a bug in the chase effect, that makes it use a lot of memory. I will investigate...
It seems to happen, when there is only one color defined in the palette, like in your case_homing effect.
And the bug was also present in older versions. So add a second color for the "tail" of your chase to the effect and your memory problem should be gone....
No shame. The effect should handle that or at least give a meaningful error message. Thanks for revealing the issue.
I can think of two setups where this is useful. First setup would be a really long chain, where e.g. the chamber LEDs are followed by a toolhead Logo LED...
I reworked the code and added a getter for the led helper. So it should not peeking into other classes anymore. Let me know if you see other code issues....
I would vote for removing this check completely. I could run succesfully 700 Neopixels on one MCU.
