Finally got my shield soldered up today.
I have changed the 5v regulator for an lm2937et -5.0,And noticed it is getting rather warm when running from 12v.
It will eventually run on a 13.5v supply so the heat worries me.
Anyone got any ideas about a suitable heatsink that would fit in the tight confines of the shield pcb?
I am sure i read somewhere that the 2 regulator tabs have not got to touch each other,maybe the manual?
