74HC595 on adafruit motor shield v1 overheating issue


If you added those connectors double check your soldering and make sure there are no bridges between adjacent pins

I have checked

A replacement ic will be arriving tomorrow,hope it works!

Don't plug in that motor shield with the new 74HC595 without testing the Uno as I explained in post#21. If the Uno is faulty, you will fry the 74HC595 again.
Leo..

The issue is solved, i guess the ic was shorted. I replaced it and it works again. Thanks everyone for ur support and advice.
