Omega getting too hot to the touch
-
My newest Omega (#3) is acting erratic and getting very hot. The wifi drops out after a couple of minutes, and in the mini dock the total current draw is around 700mA. The SoC chip is also extremely hot to the touch. I'm guessing this is a bad device. How do I get a replacement, and do you folks at Onion want the unit to determine what's wrong?

Your current breadboard design may also cause it. If you pull up a low output, or something kie it.
Or the other problem could be over voltage. Have you checked?
Mine only draws 100ma 4,95v from expansion board.

I'm just plugging the Omega into the mini dock with nothing other than power through the micro-USB port. My other two Omega units run just slightly warm,
