Yes, that’s my conclusion too. I tried it with ilogger over uart, moment I plug it in, bt or remote stops working, depending on which side I plug it in.

Is it because the BT is trying to act like a control device? I don’t have any problems when I have metr in the other port but bluetooth, nope.
yes, it’s because the remote used uartA. so when you use both UART ports, the remote is not assigned with any UART port, can’t work

Question about 4wd operation. If I connect canbus from one ubox to another, how do I wire the switch to turn them both on and off at the see time? Do I just parallel all 3 wires to both units? Also do I just connect can H and can L? Or all 4 wires

About switch I can’t say, but I connected CAN on High and Low only. I did use a shielded wires thou, so in case I should get signal issues one day I can connect the shield to ground on one side.

A bit scraped up…mostly confidence is shook. Especially after my last fall, broken ankle and what not. Gonna crack it open later. Uuuuuuuugh no idea what could have happened. Battery is in tacked, bms has ash all over it but seems to still be working, at least the blue tooth function is.

If the motors locked up, sounds like the phase side of the ESC shorted.

Wouldnt have happened to been running a METR/iLogger at the time would ya? Stuff like this is why I want my logs running as soon as I turn the board on. Also freaks me out. Glad you’re Okay.
Edit: also not to put METR or iLogger out, but this is why the VESC firmware should have this as a standard feature. Post mortem RCA is critical for finding flaws and preventing them in the future. The fact it isn’t baked in as standard is dumb. (less it is and I’m uninformed)

Unfortunately no, all I had was davega and that does not log
Where do you believe the problem lay
You think the vesc failed or the motors shorted
