Barely noticeable
If it’s warmer than ambient that’s already it. Next step for me would be to probe the vdd pins

Use a multimeter, doesn’t need to be high amps. turn off the vesc and check if the input positive cable has continuity with any of the grounds
I’m not an electrician, gimme dumb speak

High amps are only happening when the motor is spinning, and even then really only with loading like up a hill
Set dmm to resistance and measure across the esc power connector but with battery disconnected!
Though I suspect that won’t tell you anything.
Turn Multimeter to this setting, with battery disconnected put one prong on positive cable going into vesc, and one prong on any ground you find on the vesc (There is one in the UART port for example) if multimeter goes beep or the number on the display of the multimeter changes, its done

I’m gonna need to find a new multimeter. Regardless, I gotta go now, but I’ll try and figure it out later. I’m guessing it’s fried. Now I gotta get a new one Sighhhhhhhhhhhhh
