Newbie Baffled Needs Help

Thanks all in advance for helping to get my drone working!!!

I am a Newbie building my first quad and first time playing in the RC world. My problem is I can’t get any response on Betaflight between the flight controller and transmitter. I have followed instructions on numerous videos but no luck. This what I have done so far.

I downloaded Betaflight 10.6.0 and all the recommended drivers.

I purchased a Flysky FS-i6 transmitter and Flysky FS-iA6B receiver. I was able to bind the two together and I followed several videos on setting up the transmitter.

I purchase a Racestar Star F4S Flight Controller. I have wired in the receiver, video transmitter and motors. All the solder joints appear good.
  • I hooked up the FC to Betaflight and verified in “Setup” as I moved the drone around the drone picture on Betaflight moved with it.
  • I then flashed the latest version of software to the FC.
  • On the receiver I have tried both PPM CH1 and the IBUS with no luck. I did change the “Configuration Receiver” settings for PPM or IBUS when I changed to those receiver settings.
  • In the Betaflight “Ports” setting I only have USB VCP Configurator/MSP turned on (this is default and you can't turn it off) . I tried turning ON and OFF all the setting in the Ports page with no luck.
  • In the “Receiver” page I set the Channel map the AETR1234.
  • After all that I cannot get a response on the "Reciever" page for Roll, Pitch, Yaw and Throttle when I move the controls on the transmitter.
I am completely baffled so any advice would be very much appreciated.

Is the battery plugged in?
There is as note on the product page about using plastic hardware or things can get fried, so be careful.
 
was just reading the bad reviews. someone made mention on using the rx6 pad in the middle of the board for use with flysky.
set the #6 port to serial and use the ibus input on the rx should work.

Ok, I found the TX6 and also a RX6 pad in the middile of the board. So I need to move the reciever serial data line to the TX6 pad? Right
