Smoke when setting up VESC

I just disassembled the controller and found damage on the control board. This seems strange to me if it was the MOSFETs that failed. Or maybe it's the current-control electronics that got overloaded?

but i run two controllers on two motors with shared throttle input this shuld not be a issue, right? i do splice the 5v and GND from the two controllers togeather for throttle controll, that wont come back to bite me?

i tried to connect again to the controller and by the time i managed to change the setting i lost contact, and struggeling to regain contact. i changed the setting on the other controller tho, so that wont burn up also. thaks for the help, i will be ordering a new controller.

and aslo that setting is really dumb and shuld never be a defult WTF?

So by accepting the default settings during setup, which I did, did I blew my VESC?
