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.

Also thanks for helping me!

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

Also you should use the PPM-Pin8 for input (the diagram to the right):

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

[Rower93]

so when i do one shot with pin 8 i am alsoleaving pin 3 connected, could that be the cause of the issue?

[f5soh]

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

[Rower93]

because i was being lazy and thought it wouldnt mater if it was in port 2 and i was using port 2 to power the reciever.

[f5soh]

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

yeahh...  that fixed it, my lazieness killed me. Thanyou for all of your help!

That's a happy end
