When i start the setup everything goes great. Once i get to the point when i need to plug in the battery everything goes to hell. The board constantly connects and disconnects from the computer and for some weird reason my already bound reciever (d4r -II ) is flashing a red light. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks,
Rob

Seems a bad wiring.
How are powered the board / Receiver ? Should be +5V from a Esc's Bec or separate Ubec.

Maybe post some pictures...

At both the BEC board and the servo extension i used as a power cable i am getting 4.9 volts. Also if you leave the battery plugged in you get the three beeps from the ESC about once every 20 seconds.

Cannot see whats wrong but the external power should not interfere with board.

In some cases if you connect the RSSI PWM output from your receiver to the PPM input, the board should be saturated and reboot.
Be sure you get the PPM from receiver.

You're a brave man if you land with all this wires at the bottom :P

So very interesting side note, without the reciever plugged in when power is added to the board it does not reset and can be read by the computer

Where you connect the Pin3 from receiver port?
For what purpose?

So you input PWM RSSI signal in pin3. Should hang.

Just remove pin3 wire from the 3wires servo connector and put the pin8 on it
