On Saturday I had a wonderful time demo'ing the RE Goggles with the M2ED. I was going to do the same thing yesterday with other people. Before heading out, I upgraded the firmware on the M2ED and RE Goggles on my desktop. Even made sure there were no updates for the M2ED batteries. (I couldn't check the controller on the desktop and was too lazy to hook everything up to check it at home.)
At the field, getting ready to fly, there was no video from the drone on the tablet or Goggles. Played with it for almost an hour before giving up and apologizing. I was convinced the problem had to do with the firmware updates. I had no cellular connection at the field and could not check the firmware on the controller. As soon as I got home, I hooked everything up on the wifi and sure enough - the controller also needed a firmware update. After that, everything worked fine.
Lesson learned the hard way: when updating firmware check for updates on everything.
