Hey, sorry to resurrect this topic, but I do have an update on this VESC. I got the STM32 chip replaced at a local electronics repair shop. They installed an STM32F427VGT6 instead of the STM32F405VGT6 you mentioned as that what was on the board previously and they simply matched the part. Also, the short that I had before is now gone, and they coated the board in some kind of insulating gunk.
However, when I plugged in the VESC to a battery, the switch doesn’t even light up anymore when pressed. I do get a blue and green LED to flash on the board for just a second whenever I press the buttons (picture below), but then nothing.
Any idea what could be wrong now? I’ll attach a few photos of the board if necessary.
