not sure but the V+ regulator has limitations on the current that it can handle depending on the package of the component. smaller packages = less heat dissipation = less current the regulator can handle.

it still may output 500mA with a resistor change.

i think i change one of the resistor to an 1ohm and the current range increased alot but also did the heat.

can't hurt to try
