Release the Magic Smoke
#5
I think I am the third member of this selected club. I am not sure if I just toasted my MacArthur, but I cannot power it through the Polulu module. 

I've been testing the Hat at home with 5V supply for a few days. Today was the great day and I went to my boat to install everything. I connected the 12V and the 12V led just blinked for less than a second. 

I read the hat documentation and I found something like: "do not power with conventionsl 5V when the power module is installed", which is exactly what I've been doing for two days. Big Grin

Do you think the Hat is completely toasted? Or may it be just the power module? The raspberry works as usual connected to 5V charger. Either way I think I will have to wait until the next batch to fulfill my electronic desires.

Edit: I touched that little piece near the 12V input (B200) and it was super hot. IDK if that's normal.
