FYI - Both Head Tracking Gimbal and Head Tracking Flight modes work as expected with my P4Pro RC connected to the DJI Goggles. However, there were other issues. First flight I had no distance limitations - I flew P4Pro thousands of feet from home point. On second flight, inexplicably, I was limited to a maximum distance of 149 feet from home point. VERY BUGGY.
How did you hook up the P4P to the Goggles? I have the HDMI module and its connected with an hdmi to the drone. I cant see LiveView or do any headtracking?! I've tried to connect with USB as well and nothing happens. Only thing that works is HDMI input.. What am I missing?!
If you have the HDMI module installed on your P4Pro Remote Controller (RC), you can connect the P4Pro RC to the DJI Goggles using either HDMI port, which will provide video output only, or you can connect using the supplied USB cable from the full-size USB port on the HDMI module (or the full-size USB port on the RC if you DON'T have the HDMI module installed) to the mini-USB port on bottom right-side of the DJI Goggles headband.
You MUST use the USB connection method if you want to use the DJI Goggles flight app, use head tracking, etc.
If you are having trouble getting a live video image to display on the Goggles flight app, check the following:
1) Have you connected the DJI Goggles to a PC or laptop using the USB cable from the mini-USB port on the DJI Goggles to a full-size USB port on your PC/laptop, started the DJI Assistant 2 program, selected the DJI Goggles from the main menu screen list of Connected Devices, and then updated the firmware to the latest version available (V01.03.0900 dated 2017-06-22)?
2) Have you activated your DJI Goggles using the DJI Assistant 2 app (this is a one-time activity)? Did you then get confirmation message on the DJI Assistant 2 program screen that Activation is complete?
3) After updating DJI Goggles firmware you are ready to connect the DJI Goggles to your P4Pro RC.
3.1) Attach USB cable from the RC to the DJI Goggles (no mobile device is now connected to your RC). Note: be sure the mini USB connector is firmly seated in the DJI Goggles USB connector on the bottom of the right-hand side of the DJI Goggles headband.
3.2) Power on the RC
3.3) Power on the DJI Goggles (note: the Flight app should start and after a brief initial animation graphics is displayed with sound then the live view screen should appear with flight telemetry data displayed.
3.4) Turn on Head Tracking Gimbal mode. On initial connection head tracking is not active; Head Tracking Gimbal mode or Head Tracking Flight mode is turned by getting into the DJI Goggles short-cut menu (slide two fingers downward on the touch pad surface on the right-side of the goggles, then slide one finger to the right or left as needed until Head Tracking Gimbal mode or Head Tracking Flight mode option is highlighted; then tap the Goggles touchpad with one finger to activate this mode.
Note: to deactivate Head Tracking Gimbal mode or Head Tracking Flight mode, highlight the option again in the shortcut menu and then tap the touchpad with one finger (while simple, this was not immediately obvious to me. I was looking for a normal flight mode option in the menu, which does not exist). |
