SensorTile Dev Kit Cradle CPU gets hot

I have recently purchased the SensorTile development kit.

I installed/soldered a sensortile and I noticed the LED didnt come on.

I then felt the CPU was getting very hot.

I reinstalled another sensorTile and the very same thing happened.

Note I was extremely careful the second time I soldered the device so I am confident the rework was ok.

I checked the various voltages to the sensorTile with an oscilloscope and everything looks good.

Hi @lbbaker​ ,

A question to better understand the issue: did you correctly solder the Sensortile on the cradle? Can you please share a picture so that we can have a look?

Hi Eleon,

I quadruple checked the orientation with the user guide ;)

But another set of eyes cant hurt (attached).

I wanted to ask if there were any known issues/sensitivities before I sacrificed another sensorTile.

Once you confirm the orientation I'll probably just ask someone else to solder it for me.
