Analogue input has some level of adjustment. Just use the 5-pos button to adjust brightness and contrast.

@jasonmustang9039 Ай бұрын

Definitely interested in seeing you come out with a way to make it more integrated that would be sweet even if it's just the head tracker piece

@Gowieee Ай бұрын

Yes, please make a video of integrating the ht module internally. Caddx won’t sell me the newer boards to upgrade the goggles myself

@ManuelMejia27 Ай бұрын

Thanks for this video. I purchased the Goggles X and GM3 for the purpose of having a clean setup with no adapters, so I was very disappointed to learn that it wouldn't work from this video. I reached out to the dealer I bought both items from after learning this from your video and they replied with the following: "Someone has lied to you. The caddx GM gimbal line was created specifically for use with the Goggles X and goggles L. The gimbal was integrated into the system before it was ever produced. The goggles were made with this in mind (hence the built in headtracker). They have also provided the headtracker upgrade for free as well (9axis vs 6axis) with the expansion module (it also provides VRX support) The Walksnail GM gimbal system is natively compatible with the Goggles X and goggles L. Going forward, please try to get product information from the product manufacturer, rather than internet hearsay. When in doubt, go straight to the horses mouth." Does the GM3 work at all with no adapter on the Goggles X? Going from your video, I would say no, but their reply makes it seem like it should?

Caddex has come a long way, that’s for sure, in fact to a point that I am finally thinking about trying them out(I’m a DJI guy). That being said, I have always thought that the Goggles X is butt ugly, and that is only multiplyed buy this ridiculous unsightly solution. The only option for me is the Goggles L, not only for the price, but it’s the only version with an actual “finished product” form factor. Great vid as always…thx Ian

@ddano007 Ай бұрын

Ian, isn`t it possible to desolder just gyro module from that terrible box and install it inside old Googles X? Desoldering those module with desoldering station doesn`t look complicated...

@x13102543 Ай бұрын

At this price point, it has apps, analog inputs, and head tracking. I personally think it’s a great deal. It already has a lot more than DJI. I hope Caddx can maintain their original intention and continue to improve, although I still hate encountering problems when using it. Yes, better integrated analog solution needed.

@hobbyhowiefpv219 Ай бұрын

Kinda upset with Caddx FPV. The reason is that I have the upgrade module that I got from Raceday Quads same place I did buy the goggles x. I still can not use the upgrade module cause they did not ship the audio cable 5 pole to 4 pole with the module it is a extra $4.99 + Shipping which I think should have been included with the module kit. Thanks for letting me vent .

@JPspinFPV Ай бұрын

This is straight up the module offered by the gimbal OEM with Caddx firmware. What they should be doing is offering the internal board to GX owners at no cost. I for one will be taking the module and utilizing the pwm output through the radio link so can have headtracking while using my ground station.

@kbcarte420 Ай бұрын

To add to the point about being "only pass-through analog signal", this new module allows things like Foxeer Wildfire to work now. Without this module, my WildFire module never worked.

@pikozzyhobbykanal Ай бұрын

Again a very informative video. Thanks for that. I've purchased the module for free. Just had to pay shipping costs. But I've didn't bought the Googles X from Caddx or a local dealer. I've bought them from private. I've contacted the Caddx support, told them where I've bought mine and they've send it to me. Very nice move from Caddx and very customer friendly! But I'll really prefer a internal solution. So I'm wondering if it's possible to replace the internal head tracker with the board from the external module. I just see 12 soldering pads and if they are pin compatible this would be a possible solution for me.

@tobiasschulz7476 5 күн бұрын

Would be great if you find a solution for integrating the head tracking only! This device could have been much smaller by just not adding the analog Input bay, or at least make two versions of the board, one only for head tracking.

@rainsquadfpv Ай бұрын

I don't get why they don't just release the board and just let us replace the board instead

@M4trix42 Ай бұрын

Hi Ian @MadRC, you mentioned in one of your replies to another comment, that the "new" version of goggles has changes in the power input board and front pcb. How will this turn out in the upgrade ability of future mainboards on the older goggles? I would love to see a video about an "internal" solution for this. I was thinkin about this thing:6389989 but this only covers the analog module. Also what would be great was a way to activate it via the goggles menu and not a "giant" switch. I thought about using the led colour and when changing to blue (like the display of most analog modules), a transistor turns on the module. I'm looking forward to another video on this module. Until then, stay safe and happy flying/crafting

@HamidNazemi-YT Ай бұрын

I'm thinking of removing the 9-axis board from the external module and replacing it with the goggles' 6-axis one. It would be awesome if you do that!

Hello Ian 😁 question for ya. I have integra goggles and 03 air units. I just ordered the C-20T gimbel from Amazon. $140. Will this connect to the head tracking on my goggles or do i need the $70 head tracking and base kit that goes with the gimbel. Thanks for all the top notch info 😁 helping me blow my hard earned $$ 🤣🤣😁

To add to the list of things that don't work about Avatar, don't forget that sharing/audience mode doesn't work again with the latest firmware either.

Let's not even talk about the grass-smearing issues that plague the system...

It's for both as the HT communicates via the cable.

@PiDsPagePrototypes Ай бұрын

Wonder if Caddx will do a Exchange program, letting people send in their goggles for replacement with the updated versions? If the new board is the same pin-out as the old, can owners remove the old one in the goggles and solder in the new version?

@hoagietime1 Ай бұрын

I'm not a Caddx fan boy but I'm guessing the gimbals weren't being developed when the designing the goggles X, so why develop a HT for a thing that doesn't exist? I currently use the vrx with skyzones head tracker and use PWM. I'd love to add that board instead of have a aux cable out my goggles to my radio.

Is the non-working head tracker board in the "old" goggles replaceable with the one in the module? Guess not.

@MadRC Ай бұрын

It's not a seperate board in the old goggle. The X does not have it separately. They simply added the gyro to the main PCB on the original. Now they have reworked 3 of the boards and added this PCB to the power board.

If new goggles X do to they could have offered an internal guts upgrade to advanced users… maybe? I’d like to see a teardown of the new goggles with it to spot the difference.

It's located on the power Input board. It also has meant they have had to rework the IO board and the front PCB as well. It's just to much to change for a user and would cost caddx a fortune.

They advertised the head tracker, so they should recall it or replace the “upgradeable module”. But since it is Chinese company consumer has no protection. Pay premium in western standards for overpriced Chinese product.
