i just bought this board from amazon using 360 lights for testing and a 5v 3amp power supply after 30 min the lights freezes up and app not responding i have to disconnected from power and starts working again for like a 30min and freezes again, please help here is the link for the board i just bought.
Very possibly you’re asking for too much power for your wiring/power supply.
Simplest test - config WLED for only 50 LEDs and run the same presets/effects as before.
If the board doesn’t freeze/lockup, you probably have a power supply/wiring issue.
OK, Thanks, right now I’m just testing, this is the power supply that I’m going to install when I’m done, or I can install it this day and test this day, according to the specs of this power supply, how much milliamps would I have to put? in the settings ?

everything is on a table right now so there aren’t many wires right now, it’s just one foot of wire to the lights, and another foot to the power supply, but what I think is happening is that possibly the power supply It is not suitable for 300 lights, in total they are going to make 1200 lights, I am only testing with 300 at this moment, please let me know the milliamps that I have to put in the settings according to this power supply.
You should check the mfg specs on your lights or (better) measure the actual draw for 50 lights at 100% white. That will tell you what you need per LED and you can do the math to get a real value.
There are calculators out there, but nothing replaces a real world measurement.
Your wiring layout is going to be very important for the amount of current you’ll likely be getting to (60A+).
Voltage drop becomes a real issue, especially over distances so a drawing of what you’re trying to do with the expected distances and LED counts is very useful.
Remember:
Power for your LEDs comes from your power supply with proper wiring.
Data for your LEDs comes from your data supply (ESP) with proper wiring.
Proper wiring for power is not the same as for data and vice versa.
The are some calculators out there that will give you an idea of the total power you might need, but a planned approach is better than fixing what happens when you “just try it out”
Are you by any chance using 0.14.1 ?
I have this exact issue with this version. Version prior no issue. So try to flash with 0.14.0 or wait for next release (hopefully fixed)
The not enough power feed could also be the issue but try above as well.
