[SOLVED] Particle Photon not working (red burst)

Hey there!

I think I accidentally got the 3V3 and the GND pins connected. Due to this, my Photon keeps flashing cyan very fast with a red burst at a random point. The red burst, I think (it is pretty hard to count), consists of 3 red flashes and is followed by a single green flash. I saw a bunch of other topics similar to this but they don’t seem to be about the exact same problem. I don’t know what to do and I need help.

Thank you for your help in advance!

The red/orange burst comes up a lot when you do a forum search

the common cure is

Posting a video of your exact color sequence (+/- at least 10sec around the burst) might give us additional clues.

The code worked. Thank you very much.
