Help with Betaflight

I downloaded Betaflight Configurator for Mac, version 10.5.1. I installed the CP210x drivers. My Mac already had the STM USB VCP drivers. I connected my Tinyhawk to Betafight and was able to repositon information on the OSD. However, since that first successful connection, I can't connect again. When I hit the Connect button, I get the message "Failed to open serial port." I don't understand why I was able to connect to my Tinyhawk the only the first time I tried to.

Have you tried a reboot on the computer sometimes serial ports can be finicky on Mac and Linux mostly in my experience and reboot will reset the service(s) handling them in the background and get any locks or other issues cleared up. Believe you can use "screen" in Mac terminal to connect to serial devices as well but would try rebooting first.
