How to hookup the Eachine EV100 Goggles to a simulator.

[@charliecarpenter2840]

Looks like they have changed it, on my set the ground is the first ring at the bottom. Fixed it by re-soldering the cable. Video was still handy as I wasn't aware these cables were available in with different connections I had assumed it was the converter but all working now. Time to fly!!

[@aidanhughes3655]

I love fpv freerider, its good enough. It taught me how to fly acro so thats why i like it so much

[@tombochmodelisme5580]

Why Eachine EV800D doesn't work with the HDMI adaptator? I have the Eachine EV800D too and I can't connect them to my PC.

[@MCsCreations]

TOM BOCH Modélisme Did you figured it out?

[@mikko.kasanen]

If you still have them, try matching the correct resolution.. It seems that they are very picky on it

[@Mi78]

@@mikko.kasanen How would you do that?

[@M.TTT.]

@@Mi78 Change the resolution in the game settings tab, I think.

[@Mi78]

@@M.TTT. Yea but which settings?

[@robinwhite8153]

Thanks. I swapped the red cable for the yellow and now my BetaFPV goggles work !!!

[@rl2109]

...and a GIANT PILE of practice will make you a better pilot! Good luck, and don't give up yet!

[@SimRacer101]

+R L unfortunately right now I have very little time. All my spare moments go into testing something for a video. :-)

[@99smite]

Great vid! Thanks a lot for sharing this with the drone community. I was just going to get the cables at my local electronics store when I saw in the description that a complete kit was available at baggood. Unfortunately it is being restocked as it seems to be a very popular item...

[@emre_fpv]

I'm thinking of doing this too. Is there any delay in glasses?

[@BadWallaby]

I just used the fatshark AV cable and a hdmi to avi converter from Amazon for $15 total. Also you can splice into the video cable with a spare VTX and a 2-3s pack and you can run it wirelessly to avoid the cumbersome cables on your head :)

[@SimRacer101]

+BadWallaby interesting. I don’t have one of those cables. But I wonder if that is why people were having problem with the output not looking quite right. It looks like the video and ground are backwards on that cable vs the one I used. I haven’t tried outputting it to another display.

[@SesshomaruSama15]

hello ill pay you to help me set that up even tho that was two years ago.

[@BadWallaby]

SesshomaruSama15 if you DM me on Twitter a PO BOX or address I’ll send you my cable cuz I don’t need it anymore as I use a Oculus CV1 headset on virtual desktop now haha works the same way pretty much

[@DawnHub666]

Can I do it with Attitude V'3s ??

[@boskan89]

This pinout is not true for 3.5mm jack on EV100. Correct pinout is stated in manual, for connecting DVR. IT goes from bottom to top: Ground, Video, R audio, L audio.

[@abdulr5320]

Vtx on the rca unit ? And no more cables ???

[@wdavie27]

DroneRacer101 hiya buddy iv got my old DIY ufo googles i moded with audio and thinking i should be able to put a jack plug on my googles and wire it up to my screen and audio and its got to work yeah

[@MrBerenguer67]

Great video this goggles working whit Mavic Mini??? Cheers

[@MCsCreations]

What about the EV800D, Mark? Did you figured it out? Looks like it comes with an adapter cable.

[@nickbrown3868]

I'm also curious about this. I have the factory cable and an HDMI to rca converter so I may try here soon

[@wdavie27]

Droneracer101 when your looking in the googles and the small hole for lining up your ipd would you think it would be better making it bigger I'm thinking of making it bigger maybe 10mm bigger or more when I do the +2 or 4 optic lens mod and think it may resolve the v100 bad fov I maybe on to something good hopefully lol we can only try

[@emre_fpv]

It's a nice video, I tried it but the image is not coming, what could be the reason? When I move the aux cable, the image seems to be coming.

[@charliecarpenter2840]

Hi old comment I know but it seems like they have changed where the ground connection is, on mine it is the lowest ring. If you check your booklet that came with the goggles it will tell you the order it needs. In fact you only need to match the ground connection, it is the only connection common to each of the three leads. If the ground matches you can swap the leads until you get an image. Mine didn't match and so I cut and re-soldered the lead but I know not everyone is comfortable with that.

[@FlyleapStudios]

Thanks, this video helped me get it working, however I'm using the official Eachine HDMI to RCA converter and I have to say there's really noticable delay, about 100ms I would estimate. The delay sadly makes simulating through the goggle untennable :(

[@maxsound08]

bonjour voila je n arrive pas a connecter mes ev 100 a mon ordinateur comment avais vous fait.merci bonne année

[@rdooski]

Could someone please try plugging in a normal red/white rca to 3.5mm cable and see if you can get just video on one of the rca's?

[@Zachsnotboard]

Why did you choose that sim ? I'm a fan of liftoff, and awesome vid man I'll be doing this soon !

[@SimRacer101]

+MF-BOOM mainly because I thought it would be fun to be able to fly with people. And it has he MULT GP tracks built in

[@Zachsnotboard]

oh never heard of it before that's a cool feature

[@nikkirc190]

DroneRacer101, I bought the converter box and cable you had from the links. Last night it was working great. However, today I went to use everything, and it seems I'm not getting the right color (things are showing up blue and green, when they should be red and yellow etc) Any reason why this could be happening? Thanks for this great video!

[@morgaj21]

the apple 4 pin jack is not wired correctly for the EV100 goggles (see correct pin out in the instruction booklet).

[@rydere..]

really

[@rydere..]

what insturction book

We can use a spare vtx instead of plugging the rca cabel into a the google. Ohh and If I fly in a simulator I use freerider and freerider recharged. I do not got my googles yet, but as far as I saw in manual the proper jack pin order is (sleeve to tip) gnd,video,right,left, but for you the (sleeve to tip) video,gnd,right,left works. Very interesting. Edit: ctia style (video, gnd, right, left) does not work for me but "camcorder" style gnd, video, right, left is working fine

[@mikepeterson4051]

Can you help me troubleshoot a little please? I purchase exactly what you linked, and I get video ish... but something is off.. maybe because I'm on a mac? your picture is perfect, mine is pure noise :( I saw the mouse move one time lol but if I can't find a solution then I totally wasted money that could've spent on some Aomway commanders lol

[@mattfunk4972]

Mike I'm having a similar problem. I see the computer screen but it is way off centre and lots of noise as well. Did you figure out a fix for this? How about the video maker? Have you encountered this problem?

[@mikepeterson4051]

Matt Funk I've been totally unsuccessful so idk :/

[@SimRacer101]

Check your cable and see if it matches the pinout in the manual. My first cable didn’t and didn’t work at all. I had to be very specific with the one I got, but I wouldn’t be shocked if the people on Amazon hadn’t swapped them out after all this time. For a couple of $ you could try the official Eachine cable. I think I’ll get one and see if the stereo audio works with it. m.banggood.com/Eachine-3_5mm-Jack-Plug-Male-1-to-3-Head-RCA-AV-Adatper-Cable-Cord-For-EV100-DVR-HD-Port-Goggles-p-1235613.html?p=EB070918823112015072

[@mattfunk4972]

Hi yes the cable pin out is correct I'm pretty sure as it came with an eacine box set VR-008 and it works on that set.

[@SimRacer101]

I don't have the VR-008 goggles, but I did try the cable that I used in my EV100s in my EV800D goggles and it it did not work in those.

[@jamiemonkey1362]

Ok got it working but the screen is very dark. Anyone know how to lighten it up?

[@ArchmageAU]

I use Velocidrone, but with Eachine Goggles Two (16:9 - 39 degree FOV). I find the EV100's FOV (4:3 - 29 degree FOV) is too small (even with the fatshark foam replacement). I find the Eachine Goggles Two is way more immersive, has full RX diversity, direct HDMI input (no mucking around with cables 3+ cables and converter boxes) and I could easily make it so I could use my glasses with it. In short, if you can see more you can fly better. btw, the Eachine Goggles Two are $125 at the moment, where the EV100's are $160.

[@SimRacer101]

+ArchmageAU I never got the Goggles Two. No DVR is a deal breaker for me. That is the main thing I didn’t originally like about the EV100s. But they solved that pretty fast. That is also why the EV800D is still my number 1 pick. Unless you can afford Aomways. I do expect the EV100s to go down again once they have regular stock.

[@ArchmageAU]

I use a separate DVR (Eachine LCD5802D). This way someone else can look, in real time, on what I am seeing while at the field, and I have a separate non-headset to do focus and tuning work. (Very handy when doing bench work on a quad). You can add a DVR to the Goggles Two, but it is a little fiddly (requires soldering - Eachine ProDVR Pro DVR - www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2833244-How-To-Add-DVR-to-Eachine-Goggles-Two). I have a Eachine ProDVR Pro DVR, but have not done this yet as I have the LCD5802D.

[@ryanpedraza7251]

Is your audio jack working properly? When I plug in mine I hear just the static even with a feed on, also mu AV isn't working too just static when I plug in the eachine dvr pro

[@SimRacer101]

+Ryan Pedraza it works through the simulator. I haven’t tried it on a drone with a mic yet. I don’t have a dvr pro to try. But the pinouts are probably wrong. My ev100 DVR is on the way. bit.ly/EV100DVR

[@ryanpedraza7251]

DroneRacer101 but you didn't have to turn on something or increase tje volume right? Also tried different devices using vga but doesn't work and if try to wiggle it I can see the picture but not very clear

[@SimRacer101]

I didn't do anything to make the audio work, just plugged in a headset. But I was converting from hdmi to RCA then to CVBS to plug into the headset. If you are trying to use VGA that won't include audio, and depending on your computer may require a hardware adapter. Not all VGA will output to true analog. You may need one of these. amzn.to/2xWUoNq But if you have it you are better off with HDMI.

[@maxsound08]

j ai le boitier blanc comme votre liens et le cable noire de votre video sa fonctionne pas

is it working from android

[@charleswelch6074]

Velocidrone: because I haven't tried any other. Thanks for the video, BG is out of stock with their converter box. once it is restocked it will still take a month to get here. lol Chuck

Damnit 😂 I watched this to figure out how to connect my EV800D and was just about to get up and find me some cables, until that last comment. Did you ever figure it out?

[@thebikeracer]

Did you ever figure it out?

[@octapc]

I have done it with the Eachine box goggles

[@SimRacer101]

I know it can, it just didn't work with this setup. I'm going to have to figure that one out.

[@SimRacer101]

+Nicholas Heidl do you know what the pinout of the cable you used is?

[@SimRacer101]

The official Eachine EV100 converter box is now available. bit.ly/EV100SimulatorBox

[@CareLESSmAyhem]

To be honest i wouldn't even consider getting these goggles. The FOV is way to small and i think it'd be better to get a pair box goggles over these due to the fact that they'll be more immersive. It's amazing that no one bothered to mention this until kabab and joshua bardwell did.

[@SimRacer101]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGOuknhqmdR6fqMm26s here is the part in my EV100 review where I say no, I wouldn't buy them. Get the EV800Ds instead. It came out before both of their reviews. But also, I don't seem to mind the FOV as much as some people. It depends on your eyes. I can focus so well on the EV100 goggles I don't even notice the black surrounding the screen. It the same as some people hate on box goggles because they make them dizzy. I used them for years and they are fine for me.

[@TheDgskydive]

i only notice the black around the screen when not flying. Once the throttle is up I focus so much I no longer notice it.

[@SimRacer101]

+TheDgskydive I am exactly the same.

[@CareLESSmAyhem]

+TheDgskydive Eh... still think box goggles with dvr are better.

[@TheDgskydive]

CarelessMedia do you use box goggles on a daily basis? I imagine it would be difficult to go from those to this style of goggle, if that is the case. I appreciate it the overall small size of the ev100's. I have never flown box goggles and might get a pair to take people on rides. Maybe they will change my opinion. I do wish the EV100'S came with a DVR built in , but don't mind spending another $20.00 or less for the external the Eachine has.

[@MorningView]

Or to output (to a tv) just don't use the hdmi adapter and plug directly into tv.

Was making a video to show peeps how to fix the issue. Ended up deleting the main part by accident, but still had this. So uploaded to show you and others on here what needs to be done. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6GnnX-aiMqEh7M

[@SimRacer101]

That is great. Nice video. I tried the red on video with the first cable I had but it didn’t work for some reason so I tracked down one that works. I actually just updated the links today. The official Eachine version is finally out so hopefully they worked out the right cable.

[@chaz7624]

First and most importantly I wanna thank drone racer very much I am grateful for your video and I believe life unboxed i believe your user name is....i am just about to put mine together so I'm not saying which one is right or wrong and you both know by now but if not your both gona have a laugh I don't know how to send a pic on this comment page but on page five of the ev100 manual it has a diagram and starting from bottom of 3.5 connector it goes as is bottom to top ground-video-audio right-audio left.ijust got mine 2 days ago,and front of manual says "New 5.8G FPV Goggles.Is it a new manual or maybe not Hope this help.let me know guys on wish way I should do it.Merry x-mass everyone

[@phermey]

Charlie Walason let me be clear. Not saying drone racer is wrong. I just am bad at wording things. I had to go through extra steps because I didn't buy the iPod cable. I bought the cheapest thing I could find. With this method... You have to rely on fifty cents an hour workers to solder correctly the goggles, converter, and cable. My video is there to show peeps how to fix things if it doesn't do right.
