Hi @serviceberry
I happened to stumble on your post here, sorry it looks like no one ever responded to you.
Is your HW still in error?
Can you confirm how you are powering the VOXL 2 mini, and if anything changed before this issue?
The two ICs you show that are smoking hot are interesting.
The one at 156C is the level translator for our I2C bus on the power connector.
Are you sure you have pins 1 and 2 as power, and not pins 3 & 4? If pins 3 & 4 were accidentally used to power the VOXL 2 Mini, this chip would indeed see the brunt of that issue.
The other chip heating up may just be secondary due to the other failure since that chip is downstream of this one for powering the board from the voltage impacted.
Looking forward to your response and sorry again no one responded (or did you submit a second case??)
Thanks!
S
