Re: Cmucam overheating

I didn't put the camera together so, thats the first thing I'll check, but I am pretty sure it is elevated but I'm not to sure if that makes a difference. And I'm not sure if its the voltage regulator or not. I'll see If I can find out. I'm about to go so I'll get back on soon, to tell you if its that or not.

EDIT : Well I tried the old camera and the IC, voltage regulator?, still got hot, I removed the casing and it still was hot. I am getting pretty confused right now about it. I guess I should also mention, that this test bed has last years RC. I am currently working on this years RC. But I'd still like some more Ideas or more things to test for.

Thanks
Josh
