I teach a computer class and we were working with our Circuit playgrounds when one of the chips became extremely hot and started to overheat. I plugged the chip into my computer and it did the same thing. Do you know what would be causing this? This seems really dangerous so I do not want to keep using these chips if they could potentially burn my students.
Thanks

Re: Overheating
Which chip? Which model of CircuitPlayground? What were you doing at the time? Is this just one board? Did the board(s) pick up anything the could short something?
