How to use 1 esp32 for 2 power supplies and lights

Hi,
I have 1x esp32, 2x 24v 1000w power supplies and 2x ws2821b 10m strips
How can i use the esp to run both sets of lights, each one has its own power supply and the esp is powered by 1 of the power supplies with a buck converter to usb.

I tried connecting the grounds and it killed my esp32.
thanks in advance.

if the rest is wired right, just connecting the grounds is correct.


this is how i have it setup

unclear. foto?

wiring is correct. why are you running both strips off 1 gpio?

Thabk you. They run parallel to each other and want them both to do the same thing

depending on how far that data line runs you may need a level shifter. You are already below data voltage spec and then you are splitting that to 2 strips, reducing it even more.
