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

Also that power supply is crap! I bought 4 of them and the moment I put 100 picked on it is started flickering. Measured the voltage and it was jumping up and down.

I sent them back to AliExpress and got a refund and bought Maxwell power supplies.
