Hi all,
New drone builder here. I've been making solid progress and finally got to the point of plugging into Betaflight to do some configuration and testing. When I first plugged it in, everything seemed to work correctly. The blue and green lights on the FC flashed and the port showed up in Betaflight and I was able to connect. I backed up the firmware as I was going to upgrade it at some point.
I decided to test out the motors so I grabbed my 4S battery and plugged it in. The lights changed to just a solid red light and it lost connection to Betaflight. The TBS CRSF Nano did power up when connecting the battery and was flashing green (guessing wanting to bind). I unplugged the battery and USB the tried just USD to Betaflight and the solid red light just comes back on with no port showing up.
Did I fry the FC? I only learned of smoke stoppers after researching this. I didn't smell anything and don't see any obvious signs of a fried chip or anything. I can't find any info no the Lux docs about what a solid red light means. I also tried holding down the boot loader button when plugging in to the USB but still get the same solid red light and no new ports.
Here is the FC and ESC I'm working with:

Thanks for any suggestions.
