OK - I have already used search - But it had no reference of voltage regulator on CAI getting hot,
I use 10.3V PS (12V regulated down to 10,3), but find that regulator is getting hot in 1-2minutes. This CAI is supposed to work outside in sun(50C)
What should I do? Fix heat sink(how?)
Use Diode to drop another 0.7V? Will it help?
No load connected.
Planned load is one humidity sensor and 5x DS1820, 2xSSR from TTL.
