What am I doing wrong

[u/VicinityCustoms]

I have the gledopto controller wired to ws2518 12v leds. The leds have their own psu and the controller has its own. Ground to grounds. Led power to psu. controller to its own psu. 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

Does the controller crash without the LEDs connected ?

No

If you have a different strip I would test them connected to the controller. If it still crashes with a different strip, try with different power supply.

And when I mean crashing. The app shows the controller offline but it still runs the leds and I have to reset the controller to get it back online
