Re: Problems with IR Board

"I broke" our board today.

It was working fine, and then all of a sudden.... nothing worked. It suddenly got quiet.



I suspected the 5V 78LO5 was bad, so I asked my dad to help me diagnose the problem. Sure enough the regulator was bad. So my dad helped me find a suitable and more robust replacement. We put in a new regulator, and now it works great again!

...My advice to anyone with a quiet board, is to check the regulator.
