Details about the detection and handling of errors on the micro**DRIVE** units.

The micro**DRIVE** units datalog two separate error sectors. The two bitfields and the details of each entry can be found below. The bits are set when the described event occurs.

## Error 1

:::hint{type="info"}
Bit meaning of the Error 1 field logged internally on micro**DRIVE&#x20;**&#x75;nits. Error bit number matches CAN error code.
