Can one power button control two VESC controllers in a dual-motor setup?

For a setup using two VESC Motor controllers and two motors, a single push button can be wired to both controllers so they switch on and off together.

Only the switching wires should be connected to both controllers. The RGB LED power only needs to be supplied from one controller.

The two controllers can then communicate over CAN as normal, with each controller driving its own motor.
