Hello everyone!
So i am using 6 arduino micro to create a "trip wire." The LED is an RGB one and i have a touch sensor on it. I can get it to operate perfect but the 9v battery seems to heat up after about 20 min and the LEDs start to turn off. What can i do to fix this issue? Should i try and use 6 AA batteries for it? Any suggestions help!

Yes.
Although you might need even more current capacity. How long do you want it to run for before changing the batteries?
However remember that a normal regulator just burns excess power when as a buck converter is much more efficent.
I am just trying to get it to run for an hour or longer. I'll look into the buck converter now! Thank you
