That error often means the flight controller isn't successfully communicating with the ESCs in passthrough mode.

Make sure you have a battery plugged into the quad when trying to connect to the ESCs. Also, ensure you've selected the correct ESC/Motor Protocol in the Betaflight Configurator Motors tab that matches your ESCs (like DSHOT300, DSHOT600, etc.).

The provided documents don't detail this specific error, but general troubleshooting steps often help. You can review the Motors tab configuration here:
