thanks for all the help, however i seem to be having another issue. After 3-10 mins the blue light stops flashing and the core V goes to 0 from 0.678. I am unsure as to whats going on here. The only thing i have noticed is the back of the chip does get HOT (too hot to touch for more than a few seconds). I am wondering if this could be the issue or maybe if i am missing something?
