Hi there
I’m a newbie & I just got my Boost Regulators. I was testing them by hooking them up to a voltage supply powering ~3.7V i measured the Voltage on the Vout using a multimeter. While adjusting the output voltage with the trimmer potentiometer all of a sudden it started consuming more than 1A (and getting hot). With no load connect to the output.
Basically i just turned the trimmer back & forth for about 1/4 circle rotation for not more than 3 times and then this problem appeared.
My application is to use the boost regulator to power the Pololu IR Beacon (6V) using a 3.3V Power source.
thanks in advance for help!
