Hmmm Hot... well SOME electronics run hot.... but I don't think Accelerometers or gyros should ever run hot. If you're coming directly out of the analog breakout from the NI9201 and using a pwm connector, you can only get 5V so that shouldn't heat up.
If the accelerometer has a short in it, that COULD cause your analog breakout to get hot. I usually like to see sparks shooting .. that always helps pinpoint the problem.

Good luck

Steve
yea but umm those boards at sparkfun are they FRC legal? or can i just get any boards, possibly ones from digikey...?
