Here's my setup: Tesla LDU with 16 Model S batteries, Simp BMS, Polykup MCU/Advantics VCU, magic smoke released from an IC.
1. I ran what I thought were economized contactors thru the HIGH control pins on J4. This led to the onboard DC/DC converter getting hot, and the teensy power LED never turning on. Negative contactor did close (no HV connected to the contactors however, so I never expected the positive or precharge to close)
2. Thinking #1 was incorrect, and discovering they were actually not economized contactors, I connected them to the LOW pins on J4 for each contactor. I connected the teensy board to USB power, and immediately the negative contactor closed. About 3-5 seconds later, I heard what I can only assume was the positive contactor closing and immediately the IC in the photo below started smoking. I quickly disconnected USB first then the J4 connector. J4 had a VERY large spark with an audible pop when I separated the pins, but no obvious scorching on either connector or pins.
I've verified both contactors worked prior to ever connecting them to the BMS for exactly this reason.

Unfortunately I'm now scared to plug anything else in for fear of doing more damage. Any thoughts on what I may have done wrong?
Here's a breakdown of my wiring when contactors were setup for HIGH control. And here's the damage Last question: I'm getting a "Series cells fault" error, even though all cells are present and reporting. Do I just have a battery setting wrong?
