I bought the module online and then I soldered the battery holder into the module when I put the battery in it instantly started sparking and after a moment start somking as well, i started panicking and cut the wire with a scissor. Is the connection wrong I absolutely have no clue of what actually happened, did I the connection between the battery and the module right or did I soldered it wrong?. The batteries are 4 3.7 volt in series, can someone help me identify the problem
We use the red wire for +V and the black wire for -V. It looks like you have them reversed.
Oh I'm stupid thanks for helping me
If that makes you stupid then just about everybody on this forum has or will make the same mistook. You learned to check polarity so next time you will connect it properly. An inexpensive investment in a potential expensive problem.
Hi! Welcome to the forum.
It seems to be. Would you mind telling us a little more about your project? Your goal and the other elements of it?
This step-down converter has a regulator screw. Remember to use it to regulate the output voltage before connecting something else at the LM2596 output (use a DMM to check it).
Oh yeah of course
It's a rover that is driven by 4 motors with mechanum wheels. It also has a robotic arm that is driven with 4 servo motors. I'm intending to use this on lm296 module because im encounterinh Problem with power
