You Reply: Thanks Jessy for posting my question.
I am using the dfrduino sound player (DFR0112) and the Arduino Duemilanove powered via USB.
I did have other components hooked up to it but removed them to try this board
The DFR0112 is hooked up to the 5v and ground and analog pins 4 and 5. The led on the DFR0112 just flashes witch from reading the manual is a miroSD card problem. The mp3 chip on the board got quite hot so I disconnected the power and tried a different card and it did the same thing. I have no idea what could be causing this heat. Is this normal for that ship to give off excessive heat?
