Unable to transmit video feed from TinyHawk2 to DJI RE goggles

My TinyHawk2 is unable to connect with the DJI RE goggles. I have only ever connected one time, and not since. The goggles have a scan mode and when I click on scan it looks like it is searching for a channel, because I see occasional green verticaI stripes and the feed is jittery like an old tv set. I have also tried setting it manually in the range of the goggles, which is 5650 to 5850. I connected the quad to Betaflight and set a manual channel, e.g. 5806 which corresponds with R5 on the unlocked configuration table. When I use the manual feature of the goggles and set it to 5806 I do not get a connection. I am pretty sure the VTX is unlocked on the TinyHawk2 because I have clicked on the VTX button at the same time the battery is plugged in, and led lights come on, as it is supposed to according to the quad manual and various youtube videos. Any ideas? I have been trying various things for several days now to no avail.
 
Hey dsmith76,

If I understand you correctly, you are going into the goggles menu and going to the racing drone (analog) option then selecting scan for frequencies? Then it does not actually lock onto the frequency on which the drone is transmitting?

can you provide the "diff all" from the CLI in betaflight for your TH2? I can review it and look for any potential config problems.

So a couple things.. Your VTX table looks good. You can disable the "enter frequency directly" which then lets you choose a band and channel from the VTX table instead.

The option to stay in low power until first arm means your VTX is in low power until you arm. This may make it hard for the goggles to find the channel. To provide a stronger signal for the goggles to lock onto, you can either disable this menu option for now or arm your quad (with props off) to get the vtx pumping out a stronger signal. Then try scanning again.

Then try scanning again.
Ok, I'll disable that menu often. In the VTX table, should I click Boscam_a and b and c and Raceband, select just one of them, or just leave them unchecked?
 
1615047086839.png

You need to do a couple things. Click on disable the "enter frequency directly" then enable the factory switch on all your bands in the VTX table. This will allow betaflight to use the VTX table and only send channel number and band to the VTX. (EG R1)

Then in the upper portion of the screen you will end up with pre-populated pull downs that you can choose the band, channel and power output.

This is the best way to run the VTX table since it simplifies everything.
 
I actually powered on the quad (on the floor) and let the props spin. I noticed that when I click to scan the frequency, the number 5806 was on the screen. Even when I click on "continue" to scan it sticks on 5806. I clicked continue several times but the number always stays on the screen. I have noticed on Youtube videos where pilots are showing people how to use the analog feature of the RE goggles, that I can see the numbers changing in the background until it connects to a frequency. When I have set mine to a specific frequency in Betaflight, such as 5806 or some other number, when I then fire up the goggles it always seem to be stuck on that number, eventhough I can see vertical and horizontal lines in the fuzzy background.
 
Ok, we are getting somewhere. It seems as though your goggles are locking onto the VTX frequency. The fact you have vertical lines and a fuzzy background may be related to another issue. once you complete the steps I outlined above, set the pulldown to R1 then try a scan on the goggles before you power up the quad. Then power up the quad during the scan.

Okay, before I ran my test, I disabled the "Enter Frequency directly" button and clicked all but the Fatshark buttons. I am going to try again.
 
Still no luck on Auto scan.
It kind of sounds like your goggles see the signal since it does show the channel, but the signal is messed up at the goggles.
Why aren't you clicking the fatshark button? All the factory button does is enable the VTX to send the channel and band instead of the raw frequency. It just ensures compatibility.

Have you crashed this drone recently? is there a chance your camera wires came loose?
 
I'll give my buddy a call that has these goggles and see if he has had any similar issues. I'll get back to you shortly.
 
I went back and clicked the fatshark button and tried it again, but still no image. I have crashed a few times flying around in my living room, but they were not "bad" crashes, but I suppose bad enough to loosen some camera wires.
 
BTW, just to make sure the goggles are working I fired up the Mavic2 Pro and they were working fine.
The Mavic 2 uses occusync so that is a different thing all together. These goggles use occusync for DJI drones and also have an analog receiver for FPV drones.
