FPV Racer Simulation Goggle Adapter Mount

thingiverse

This is really about how to connect your goggles to an FPV simulator rather than the mount itself, but the mount plays a key role in making everything work together seamlessly. If you orientate it on its back, it prints without support. If your goggles require composite video input, running an FPV simulator will necessitate using an adapter when your video card only supports HDMI output. This mount allows for the attachment of an HDMI2RCA video adapter to the goggle strap, positioning it close enough to use the 3.5mm mini plug to RCA adapter included with Quanum DYI FPV V2 goggles. To convert the signal, I found two viable options: A. Buy a cheap adapter and connect it directly between your HDMI output or split output of your PC. (Note: This will operate without any additional power supplied to the adapter.) https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Adapter-Charger-USCMHColumbus-inventory/dp/B01M749T42/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1507666601&sr=8-3&keywords=hdmi2av B. If you have a Raspberry PI, connect the goggles to the composite video output of the PI. Install Moonlight Embedded on your PI and set up composite video support in config.txt. Write a startup script to launch Moonlight, which connects to your PC that supports Gamestream or Steamlink. Pair your PI to your PC, ensuring you launch moonlight executable in the appropriate resolution for Quanum V2's. i.e., "moonlight stream -width 800 -height 480 -unsupported [host ip]." Include the "-unsupported" option to get it to run in the specified resolution.

My recommendation from running both options is to spend a few bucks on the HDMI2AV converter and deal with the cable by supporting it with strategically placed Velcro straps. A free fully functional FPV simulator is available here from DRL to try out and see if you want to invest in anything more: https://thedroneracingleague.com/videogame/download
