Let me tell you a little and quite expensive story about getting Goggles working on my P3A. read on;
I've been working on getting goggles working with my P3A for about a month! Ordered my first Fat Shark Goggles and HDMI module. Installation was a snap! 5 mins max.. However no video, tried everything TV, computer, etc, all I received was the OSD on the devices. I talked to the guys over at FLYFPV, they say "It has to be a problem with the HDMI adapter since your getting the same output on all your HDMI displays.
OK, sounds logical to me.. Received new HDMI module.. Same thing, OSD only, no video.. No extra section about HDMI in the channels section etc.. WTF ? I'm not the guy who gives up..
I purchase the latest HeadPlay HD FPV goggles. I really did not want that thing hanging from my face while i am at the beach flying and looking for sharks, they just don't look to sexy! Same Deal, same story..
I'm not going to give up now!! So I purchase a IPAD Lightning Digital AV Adapter, comes with a HDMI port and a Lightning port (which was meant to be plugged into the controller). I guess somewhere I missed the undocumented feature that the Lightning port is only for charging and does not work with data (So no controller connection).
I'm not only pissed, but will not give up until this problem is fixed. I get the RMA from DJI to send it in and "fix it". Not my style, I need to get to the bottom of this.. I have a nexus 6P which has a Class-C USB port for charging etc.. So I begin my search for a Class-C USB to HDMI, to USB adapter. Surprisingly, I found one that has HDMI, USB, WIRED LAN, and VGA OUTPUT!! AWESOME!! I am totally stoked, the product is from a reputable company of which I happened to work for about 10 years. So, I get the Dell DA-200 USB-C to HDMI/VGA/Ethernet/USB 3.0 adapter!!!! SAME F^%%*#)$ SJ1tt3 ! It just does not work with the Nexus 6P.
Can I be scammed to buy something else ??!! Then, I came across a writing somewhere that google does not want you to use the USB-C port as an HDMI out connection, and that google recommended instead to use the chromecast to mirror the device screen..
NO WAY! After spending thousands of dollars in time, money, and ultimate frustration.. I plug my Nexus into the controller via the USB-C to USB Cord. I turn on screen mirroring, plug my chromecast into my Headplay and done!!! No HDMI CORD From the Controller, IT LOOKS GREAT!
I'm still working on getting the Fat Shark to work, but so far all I see is the chromecast booting with the logo, but nothing after that.. Tomorrow, I will be the king GEEK in South Beach, MIA, with the HeadPlay Goggles!
If anyone has any advise as to why my Dominator HD2 is not getting any video, please advise as I don't want to be the geekiest guy on the beach!
