I just got my first regulated power distribution board with a current sensor and everything. Got it hooked up and powered on just fine, but then while configuring some other stuff with it running, it started having some problems and didn't seem to be supplying enough power, so I unplugged the battery and tried plugging it back in... nothing. None of the LEDs light up and it starts making a somewhat ionized gas sort of smell, so I won't keep it plugged in for more than 2 seconds (short circuit protection is probably kicking in). I tested for shorts with the primary power in, but nothing showed up that was obvious, although it is reading about 38,000 ohms, but I figured that probably wasn't a short. It may be a defective board, but it is really well built and takes up to 5S (currently using 4S) so I find it hard to believe it would kick the bucket so quickly. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot this?
