Title: LD1117 Regulator Hot on SSC v2
Post by: Jimmy on May 15, 2014,

I have v2 SSC that was working great, while troubleshooting some bad nodes, I may have shorted leads.  Anyway, SSC has no output, but LD1117 is very hot to touch. I'm I correct in assuming I fried the regulator?

Thanks
Jimmy

While possible, you may have fried the PIC.  I would remove the PIC and see if the regulator still gets hot.  If you managed to short the data line to the +12V lead, that can pretty much fry the PIC.

Thanks for advise. I'll pull PIC and go from there.
