Did not work :( even when plugging the 9 volt to it. We even checked it with a multi meter and it was giving 4 volts which we concluded should be enough for each motor. This circuit only has two motors soldered to it in to save ourselves a little stress and time. The circuit is soldered to hold 12 motors in total
But we took it to a different outlet to see if that was the issue. But I burnt my finger on the board instead.
I have had really strange issues with the two boards I have getting hot. One got hot on the ATMEGA328P (same as yours), and the other over a smaller surface mount chip (I think the USB IC). Strangely, even when I swapped the 328P to the opposite Arduino board that specific chip still overheated. I was only powering with USB through all of this...strange things do happen.
