With a good battery and the correct wiring, the system should protect itself from router brownouts. You do have the DAP-1522 powered through the 12V-to-5V converter plugged in to the dedicated boost-regulated 12V connector on the Power Distribution Board, right? Losing communication when trying to turn suggests that you might have it connected to one of the unregulated red Wago terminals instead, or perhaps directly to the 5V camera supply without the converter.


You didn't mention anything about rewiring your motors when you made the wheel switch, but if you did, take a very careful look at where all the wires are going. If something got swapped, you could end up seeing really weird problems with two different Jaguars' outputs connected to the same motor.
