While adjusting the current my BED the power led turned to red.
Now after power up power led is red and seems like no power to motor.
Did I blow it up?

No idea what you're talking about Might be a lack in my knowledge

What is BED?
Which power led? On a power supply?
How did you adjust current? On a power supply setting the limit? Or do you have an adjustable current source.

Please elaborate a bit.

BED = Big Easy Driver. The power LED is red on the board. It's always been red and will always be red. When power is connected to the board, the LED shines red. It never changes. You adjust current with a pot on the BED.

If you give the motor too much current, it won't turn just like if you give it too little. There is something else going on.
