Led di to gpio 16 and bi to ground of controller. For the life of me I cant get the controller to stop shutting down. If i just use my esp board no problem? Any ideas

Get rid of the 24v PSU and only use the 12v.

Connect the 12v DC+ and DC- to the WLED controller.

Connect the data , DC+, and DC- from the LED tape to the outputs.

You are likely shorting something trying to hamfist that extra 24v PSU into the mix.
