Comment on Schematic problem - It gets hot and smells like burning

I could be wrong, but I did finish a degree in EE even if I just do software now. But here’s my quick take on it.
Probably because you’re driving voltage on STAT from REGN.
STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.
REGN should have a 2.2uf cap between the pin and ground according to the datasheet.

That would make sense, but page 21 of the datasheet with a typical application shows it going to REGN.
If it’s missing the cap on REGN though, that would probably fuck this all up? I must admit I’m not good at understanding when/where caps are applied.
