Unlucky me I guess.

Ok i first though you made a direct short circuit to the pcb.
But taking a closer look at it. R3 burned which means initial current was way to high and stayed on for way to long.
So here is what most likely happened: you destroyed your vesc, because you propably run something like 12S with no tvs diode and now your vescs mosfets are blown and your vesc is basically a short circuit. Now you switch on the board but your vescs are short circuiting the whole board and that r3 now starts burning.
Boom you got a fried antispark.
Please use a proper tvs like mentioned in my eboard build!
Would have saved your vescs and antispark.

Accusing my antispark of destroying a vesc is just stupid and physically impossible.

That sucks. I’ve been running the one I got from you for a looooong time. No problems at all with it.

Me too
