diy led controller of choice?

[coralbeauties]

I currently am controlling my diy system with a jardunio controller and ldd drivers. My controller has been freezing up almost every evening and wont advance the program until I unplug the replug the controller back in. I dont know if the controller is starting to fail or maybe I have too many ldd drivers wired up to it? I have 19 ldd drivers wired up to it with 6 colors. Too many? What controller do you like the best? My biggest grip with the jardunio is it is a pain to turn on the lights with the program in the off mode.
Thanks for any advise.

I have the storm x controller, I like it. It's easy to use and can have 16 channels of control.
I believe you can put more than one driver on each channel, but I would contact the guys over there and ask before ordering. The storm has 6 channels with 40ma out per channel. The storm x has 10ma output per channel. I can't remember how much each driver needs to run, been too long since I built my lights.

Also it's pretty easy to turn the lights on when it's off, just a couple button presses

I use the storm here!
Once you get used to how it functions it's a set it and forget it controller.

I'm a Bluefish Mini fan. It uses a phone app interface and is super easy and intuitive to use.
