It's worrying about the dimming and heat - have you made sure that the 3.3v line isn't connected to anything? What is the 'VIN' wire connected to?
The chip usually takes a while to initialise, but something should definitely have happened within about 30 seconds.
I just tried here and it all works fine for me, so I'd guess that it might be some problem with how you've wired up the power. The chip does get warm (body temperature?) but shouldn't get properly hot though.
