Look before you connect

Note to self: Always check the pins you are connecting power to. READ the label.

Just blew out BOTH nRF24L01+ modules by connecting 5V to the 3.3V pin of an Arduino Nano. The Arduino survived, but the nRF24L01+ connected to that same 3.3V pin did not.

Was wondering why it didn't work the first time, so I tried the same thing on another set that I had.

And then I realized my mistake. By then, too late. Both nRF24L01+ modules were gone.

Sigh.
😞
