Good day, I am currently building a qav400 and using a pixhawk. I soldered all 4 ESCs to the PCB and soldered the xt60 with positive and negative cable. I connected the motors to the ESCs.
To recap, the battery connector, motors and ESCs are soldered to the board.
I wanted to test motor direction using a spare receiver I have. When I connect the battery to the battery plug thats soldered to the board, I hear an audible crackle or pop that sounds like a spark or something is arching off. I did it a few time to ensure I wasn't imagining things. Upon investigating the pins in the connectors of battery and board connector, they look like they were sparking or something.
Please assist me.

This allows you to plug in the battery fully and then you can complete the circuit after. I make my own and it works good.
