Walksnail Firmware Update How-To 

Is walksnail backwards compatible? Alot of people are saying the old firmware is better?

Love your content, Joshua thank you for all your help in the community

those little vtx plugs suck

Hey Joshua, big fan! I decided to pickup a Walksnail Vrx and V2 Vtx with HD Pro camera at the end of April. Unfortunately both items came defective, direct from Caddx. The V2 Vtx won't connect to any PC, even after being sent a replacement USB-C breakout cable, and the Vrx had to be disassembled to get the record button to function properly. On top of that, Caddx support has been ignoring my questions about the refund period. It's been a whole month now with a very expensive paper weight! Have you heard of any other QC issues with Walksnail products? This is my first dive into digital FPV and so far it hasn't been positive.

Question - Do i need to bump versions ony by one, or can i Just download latest and install it right away?

Whats the foampadding on these goggles in video. It looks wider and more comfortably than stock. (I do like the fake leather quality of the original only wish it was a bit wider... so depeninding on price im willing to try aftermarket foam)

Great videos Joshua, For anyone doing this update to Walksnail be aware that you will need to update betaflight firmware to 4.4 otherwise the OSD goes off centre. The HD setting in 4.4 is needed to sort this out.

This is the same procedure for the VRX.

Hi Joshua, I’m having a problem with my new walksnail avatar vrx. I have updated the firmware to 37.42.5 using the AvatarSE_Gnd_37.42.5.img and did a “reset all”. Then I added the avatar_pwr.txt and the avatar_std.txt to the sd card and I get the 8 channels but the power only goes to 500mW. What am I missing.

somehow i have to press the bind buttons everytime i switch batteries on the drone it doesnt "remember" that it was bound before super annoying

Looking for a little help hopefully someone or the main man himself can help me. Recently got the jb special edition radiomaster tx16s with his voice pack. I've set up a few of them. Arm, acro. Turtle. My quad has gps. And there is a gps locked sounds. I want it to say it when the drone gets a 3d fix. I get sat count through telemetry. But setting up a special function with Sat's or gps as the trigger makes it say it right away when powered on even without the quad being on. Am I missing something. Or can we just not make it say it. I was hopping we could set a special function with say when it reports 10 or more stats through telemetry it would say it then

I tried both 34.40.15 (beta) and 33.39.10 but none would work :-( I have the fast bit you are mentionning in the video. could it be the SD card?

After updating the firmware, I lost the OSD. Any suggestions?

Guessing I bricked mine, it is no longer beeping or anything when I press any buttons and can't get an output.

I downloaded the 32. 37.10 update. Everything says it's connected but I only have a black screen.

@JoshuaBardwell What is that goggle foam please? EDIT: Sorry, just saw your answer to the previous person asking this!

Hey josh if I sent you my cli for my tinyhawk 2 freestyle could you help me I can’t figure it out I’m sure I screwed things up I’m new to the hobby

Will the Walksnail Avatar work with the Fatshark Dominator HD2s? Is 720 vs 800x600 going to result in a blank screen?

you should mention that you must format the SD card on the goggles first then put the firmware if you have not used the goggles before and have not done this it will be a struggle

Can you please make a video on how to change custom font in case of the new walksnail firmware that is just released. Its not taking the conthrax sneaky FPV font

i have a problem at the end of the bipping the goggles doesn't reboot and the goggles are not upgrade.What must i do ? Thanks

Trying to fond a way to get voltage on osd for walksnail goggs with the speedybee app?

So do we not have to reset the goggles and reconnect to the vrx anymore after the firmware update? I remember being told that.

What firmware would I use for the cobra x goggles ? I have the nano rx

I'm not sure the Dominator manual has this information...

I was so excited because I thought there was new firmware available (=

I'm waiting on my first drone but I'll sure wait and see the VTX version before updating the goggles, I heard the last 2--3 versions are quite bad because of the spectator mode or something like that.

is this the firmware where the range is greatly reduced?

where did he get that foam on his googls ?

This is my first hd system for freestyle. I ordered the stand alone vrx. Will I need to update it as soon as I get it?

Does the DVR on the VTX always record, or only when you hit record on the goggles? I can't find an answer in the manual.

Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, Joshua! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

You make very useful videos Joshua 😊. Thank you for your work

I have tried 3 different SD cards with my new goggles. It always says no sd on the goggles. I tried formatting but never says anything. Do you think I got a defective goggles?

Sorry - but, I was happy to see you struggle with that poorly designed vtx update /storage cable. Lol - its so frustrating. I can't wait until they move away from that completely (er um - I hope they do).

How many cells do you guys use to power on your vrx during updates? The only power rail available to me on my flight controller is full voltage on 6s. How do you prevent overheating?

I use a USB extension cord...

Where did you get the goggle foam?

Do you have to reset your goggle's every time

what is best quad parts for dji o3 air unit?

What foam are you using on the goggles JB??
