Our Goggles X assessment reveals that the Walksnail system comes out of the field in CE mode and low-power TX mode. If you’re a newcomer to FPV, this tutorial will clarify learn how to unleash your Avatar HD’s full potential.
This hack allows 1000mW and 1200mW Output Energy in your Walksnail VTX and unlocks all eight FCC channels. Though these settings are formally obtainable on the producer’s web site, earlier than continuing, please ensure you perceive your native RF laws concerning transmission energy and frequency and aren’t breaking the legislation. In lots of international locations, 25mW is the utmost unlicensed TX energy you’ll be able to transmit.
After you have executed this as soon as, you don’t have to do it once more for any Avatar HD VTXs (Moonlight, Professional, V2, and others), your Walksnail Goggles will keep in mind these settings.
Unlock FCC mode on Walksnail Avatar HD
I acquired my CaddxFPV GoFilm20, geared up with Walksnail Moonlight, in CE mode, which means it had solely 4 obtainable channels (1-3 and eight). If you change to FCC mode, you will notice eight channels.
First, you must obtain the FCC Unlock Process from CaddxFPV’s web site (from right here). The zip archive contains two textual content recordsdata and a step-by-step tutorial. Subsequent, copy the “avatar_std.txt” onto a micro SD card and insert it into the FPV Goggles. If you restart the headset you need to be capable to use all eight frequencies.
Allow Excessive-Energy (1000mW and 1200mW) on Walknsial Avatar HD VTXs
By default, transmission energy on Walksnail VTXs is restricted to 700mW. Enabling the high-power mode process is principally the identical because the unlocking FCC mode. You simply want to repeat the “Avatar_pwr.txt” file onto the headset’s micro SD card. After reboot, it is possible for you to to set 1000mW and 1200mW broadcast energy.
Keep in mind that working on greater transmission energy will generate extra warmth, which can result in early gadget failure.
