Well previous to upgrsding the servos to more powerful ones I had some caps on the 5v rail to help with power demands. After testing they seemed unecesary and I removed them. Maybe a bad move.
The burning of the rx only hapened once I used a seperate power source, but maybe that was the cause in itself, luckily my 5v power to my video cam is seperate and that isnt damaged. Im powering that with the ti module mentioned above. I will get two more and power the servos with them and try not to burn more modules.
Id like to have a go at fixing them still though. I cant work out why allmfour pins on the right side of the eeprom are all connected to ground.
