I blew out the 7805 and 7812 voltage regulators!
The microcontroller is still good! However, the voltage regulators I'm using are now no good. I had 11 extra of the 7805, and zero extra of the 7812's, and Radio Shack isn't answering their phone, so I'm guessing they are closed.
The 7805 takes up to 20v input, and has 5v output. The 7812 takes up to 27v or something input, and outputs 12v. Both are unfortunately below the 36v that I inputted to them.
Dang it.
