Changing your glasses Fatsharks to receive 2.4 or 5.8GHz.
[Image: dscf8253.jpg]

Materials needed:
- Glasses Fatshark.
- A 5.8 GHz receiver to integrate (http://fpv4ever.com/product.php?id_product=115)
- A 5V regulator (http://fpv4ever.com/product.php?id_product=86)
- A receiving antenna (http://fpv4ever.com/product.php?id_product=137)
- A connector panel rp-sma
- 1 switch.
- A dremel and an old dentist's drill.
- A package of granola, a beer and 1H30 labor.

We start by opening the glasses:

Disconnect the origin board:

Then make holes for ventilation all with a Dremel or other:

Install the switch that used to power the 5.8GHz receiver:

Take the original power in parallel through the switch, then return to the 5V regulator:

Control the 5v output and paste it into the glasses with hot glue:

Then connect the receiver power 5.8GHz, sort the the video out signal and the mass, and sound if necessary:

Set up the receiver and stick it with hot glue:

Connect the video signal wire on the video contact of the vVdeo IN jack (Pin 1 Ov (brown wire), Pin 2 Video In (orange wire), Pin 3 Audio (white wire)):

Reinstate the original board in the glasses:

Collapse all is ready for use:

Setting function:
connect the battery glasses, set the switch gasses on video In, turn the receiver 5.8GHz and now it works.

nice.

what module is the 5,8GHz one?
Airwave?

because normally, they all need some extra capacitors to work correctly.

You did a great job, Aurelien Smile

hehe, its working too with airwave but fpv4fever rx are better more sensitive and less expensive.
withthe chiness rx you need only one capacitor for decoupling the dcdc. The video capacitor is not needed

and you can use the regulator onboard of the original fatshark 2.4 ghz.

it can feed the 5.8 rx and the 2.4 rx with no problem

Hey muppet you have working hard at Fab house Wink

good work Muppet Big Grin

and which module is it exactly?

i have already the 660RX and 682RX built.

more sensitivity on datasheet is most of the time nothing worth.

I have change the photo with the capacitor.
One other thing interesting to integrated in the goggle..

To taz, i have not work at fpv4ever house, i have fly and have some fun and buy some good things, and now i work...

this rx 5.8 ghz module are sell at http://www.fpv4ever.com/product.php?id_product=115

sensibility is -90 dbm airwave are -80 aprox

there is a 2,4GHz airwave module which declares also -90dbm.

paper is tolerating much. Big Grin

yep exactly,in pratice those receiver are better.

but Airwave are good too also, it's not necessary to change it .

but it's fun to try Cool
