Mads Review Of Goggles X
Goggles X Antenna Layout
Caddx Goggles X like the original Avatar Goggles still use a SIMO layout, there is only one antenna that transmits however its the opposite side to the original goggles.

Issues & Repair Info
Overheating
The Goggles X have been found to be prone to overheating on the RH display labeled as LED 1. This causes a green hew or a shut down of the display its self until its cooled down.
I did a deep dive on this issue in this video
Caddx have subsequently release new firmware that has improved power consumption by as much as 14% and reduced temperatures.
Caddx have also announced a free replacement heatsink for the Goggles X to help reduce temperatures as well.
It is not confirmed at this time if this resolves the issues for all users.
