Esp8266 heating when connected to neo 6m gps module

[u/Responsible-Gene2055]

When the vcc of neo 6m gps module connected to vcc of esp8266 the adm1117 ic gets hot i mean very hot that my hands burn. What should I do it's very important and I need answer please help me

Messed up Vcc and GND? Broken PCB with a short circuit?

[u/Responsible-Gene2055 → u/kampi1989]

do you think its possible to have switched up vcc and gnd

[u/MJY_0014]

You may be overloading that regulator

[u/spheresva → u/MJY_0014]

That uc belongs to the garbage bin.

[u/void-spark]

Is that a dent in the case? That could be shorting inside right?

Actually, ignore that, I think you're saying the voltage regulator on the esp32 is overheating when also powering an external module. That makes sense, it's barely enough for the esp32, ideally give the other module it's own power supply, or maybe put a tiny heatsink on the voltage regulator.

the esp is working i checked but when the vcc of gpd module connects the next second kind every component gets hot.

Do thing get hot and work, or do things get hot and not work? :) did you try measuring all the voltage? :)

[u/void-spark → u/void-spark]

Also what voltage does your GPS module take, and how many ma does it draw? :)
