This is a small project to decode the LCD Repeater output from a NASA Marine Wind indicator and to upload the data to a NMEA0183 Server

So what happens when you solder in a switching regulator the wrong way round so that the 12v supply is going to the output pin and not the input pin?

Well it would appear that 12v passes straight through the regulator and the ESP8266 does not appear to like a 12v supply to its 3.3 pin. Fortunately I am playing with cheap devices so it is not too costly a mistake.
