Broken Vesc 4.12? Calling all Wizards for help! 🧙‍♂️

One of them seems more promising than the other, they both get warm when plug in but one gets very hot to the point it flashes red and should not longer get power. I am putting together a little commuter board and need one controller for it. I really have no idea what’s wrong with either one. The more promising one seems to get warm in the can transceiver area next to the arm processor. When it powers on both the blue and green lights come on but I cannot connect it to the computer to save my life, I always get a serial port busy error. Otherwise I have a broken focbox that needs a trace repair lol.

My first suggestion is clearly separate the two. I’m trying to understand what’s wrong but I am just always confused about which one is which.

Split ppm?

Yeah I really don’t know which is which any more. Im so sorry for all the confusion. I would like to focus just on 1 of them for now. The one that lights up blue and green and seems like it should connect to the Vesc tool but cannot connect. I guess I can try to reflash the bootloader? I’m not sure it definitely gets slightly warm by the arm/can transceiver so something is certainly wrong.
