This has got to be an easy one for somebody...
I am trying to configure my radio using the terminal, and each time I type "radio" it says "radio setup:" and sits. For hours. Nothing.
I am powering my Rx with an ESC hooked to a LiPo and have the Rx connected to the APM.
When I power up my Tx, the Rx gets power.
Still.... nothing. I even tried using the first time setup button on the configure screen, same thing happens.
Before powering the Rx this way, I had the ESC going into the 3rd servo output pins, as well as having the USB connected to the board. I read that this could be dangerous, and am now regretting it.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Bracing for the worst, but hoping for the best.

Solved!
Good news: I swapped out the Rx with another, and it now works like a dream.
Bad news: The Rx that I ruined was my brand new AR8000. Good thing I bought the Dx8 last week in the first batch that now comes with 2 Rx's. Still a bummer though.
So if anyone is experiencing the same issue, try a different Rx. See, I told you this would be an easy one. :)
Ya, I'm very lost...my power rail works and will power the Rx on any of the outputs. I can even control the motors, however, not as you'd expect. ( you can see that in the video)
I just don't understand why the lights aren't on. I'm worried I fried something and that i'll have to go spend more to get another APM.
it aactualy checks for inputs on chan 0-3 or 1-4 depending on the board
