hi
i was working with my arduino and it suddenly gave some smoke and now a chip is getting unbelievably hot and the rx and tx lights don't work anymore. can someone give me some advise on what i can do now?
Remove the power in case it burns, then get a new Arduino ?

that sucks but yeah thanks
If you provide some details of what you were doing and the connections used, the chip that got hot, then you might get some advice so that you can avoid 'smoking' an Arduino again.

Buy another Arduino, and don't wire it up the same way. Also do post #4.
