With no load the regulator should be cool. Disconnect the output from it and check the voltage, in fact check the voltage into it too from the 9V supply.

Not sure about the other stuff without seeing code but the reality is nothing should be consuming load except the blutooth chip which is only when sending data.

I suggest to check everything put together one section, test it then continue. Heating up like that is odd without any load.

Hi boblug, bolted my heatsink to the regulator after cleaning the surfaces, plugged in my 9 volt adapter and after 10 minutes it was just warm even with the LED lamp burning----Heat problem solved!!
