Hello everyone.
I've got a problem with my arduino board having MEGA328P, FT232RL and LM2576S. When I connect my board with USB cable to laptop, the FT232R gets so much hot and even the board is not being detected in laptop. If I connect battery(12V) to the board, LM2576S also gets hot along with FT232. Mega328 seems to be ok. What is the problem? I'm unable to find the solution.
PLEASE HELP !!!
Hi shubh94
Is the arduino you're using is original(made in Italy) or the board assembly nearby project centre(custom build).I think original will be most probably free from such issues.If it is custom built check whether the soldering is fine and make sure that there is no short between the pins because of soldering.Please don't try to re solder by yourself,if you're not experienced.keenly watch whether there is any short between pins.
IF YOU'RE NOT EXPERIENCED IN SOLDERING,PLEASE DON'T TRY TO RE SOLDER BY YOURSELF. seek other people who is experienced in soldering.
seems like a clear cut short somewhere on the power lines.
