Can't see CC BEC with computer
 
So I was able to program my BEC fine the other day. I set it to 7.4v saved the changes and went on my way. I tried to access it last night and Castle Link can't see it. I tried two different Castle Link plugs and USB cords. I can see my MMP fine with both. I did test my voltage at the bec and it's putting out 7.3v but I am getting some steering servo stall that happens as as the pack starts to discharge. Time for a new BEC?

Try to plug it in different ways first link to computer then bec if that dont work do link to bec then computer you may need the battery plugged in sometimes that helps. Whats the setup does the light on the receiver go out when it stalls?

No I still have control and it only stalls with rapid steering right to left. I've tried every combination I could to hook up the BEC.

When the computer USB port cannot supply enough voltage for the Castle Link to function properly, you may need to hook it up to a battery for a power supply.

I just plug a battery in, even before I know if I need it. Then plug in the Link. Only time it hasn't worked was with a failed Castle link. Cable was good but the board was dead.
