springbok's connector works great. Thanks, TB.

[@timothyanderson3122]

I love the videos. Trying to set up the putting and it is just not working. I am struggling with the connection as it keeps saying I don't have the putter selected in the logs. Will try and load this new springbok update and see if that makes a difference.

[@mdelben]

great video. how do you get the putting lines to show on the mat?

[@bougie_kenny]

We just need to pay Springbok a bunch of money for all of his work here. He’s amazing. Not sure if he’s the one that did the ST+ connector also..

[@raysdigitalphotography3914]

I have had no problem getting the connector to work for everything except the webcam putting. It shows that it is running on the connector but when I try to open it the black box shows up for just a few seconds and then closes. I am using a Logitech streamcam plus. Thanks for all the information you post on you tube it is very helpful.

[@uslipaway]

Hello Ben, Great job explaining everything. I it all up and running. Two questions for you sir. How do I get the putting box to show on my putting mat and my MLM2pro is only like 2ft from my laptop and I'm getting a poor connection. High 80's. It goes from RED to AMBER at times. I only had it GREEN once.

[@danielolivier2]

Hi from Thailand !! Great Channel very useful !! I have a question regarding Garmin R10. Is there any way to bypass Bluetooth connection for the R10 and using the USB cable to send data to the MLM2. I have trouble often with the latest update and the Garmin disconnect 5 to 6 times before I can play a round on GSPRO. Thanks.

[@bobeisele9330]

Great video Ben as always. Will I still need to authenticate each day with Awesome Golf with this new connector?

[@trpl_bgy]

Thank you 🙂. Yes, Still need to authenticate. There is an expiration timer under the connection info in the connector that will change color when time to re-authenticate. No api key needed here, it’s included/encrypted.

[@LukeMorris14]

Hey what setup do you have for putting to project the line? Is that putt view?

[@antoniofrancesca3523]

Hi Springbock love the channel have had trouble with my R10 connection to Gspro tried JLGolf method and no success. Love this new link , I have everything running R10 connect, GoPro,API Connect The issues is my R10 flashes white , I have phone and iPads disconnected am I missing something Very very frustrating I am considering going back to e6 which would be a shame as I love Gspro Any thoughts Tony

[@robertdudgeon9232]

Im also a member on SGT discord app. I have seen some people that are interested in how you was able to project the web putting box and white line on yoyr hitting mat. Any chance of sharing how you did this. Thanks in advance for your help.

[@craigsirota4666]

Awesome information. My question pertains to connecting a Full Swing Kit unit to a PC. Can you provide information on how to connect a Full Swing Kit with GSPro via a PC. Thanks!

[@Springbok331]

You select Fullswing as your LM in settings, setup a new or edit existing device, make sure to use the correct window title for the fullswing software window you want to capture (there is a button on devices to display titles of all open windows), go to connect, select device and setup roi's, save roi's. Select your device, connect to gspro and away you go.

[@stanwoodland8972]

Can you direct me to how to use this connector with my Trackman 4?

[@tonzapower]

Great to see more development in this space. Just checking though - if I have just set up the MLM2Pro BT App and have it working ok with webcam putting, am I missing out on anything if I don't grab this version?

[@trpl_bgy]

I have both working on my machine. They do connect in slightly different ways to the bluetooth connection on PC. If having trouble connecting to BT with one you may try the other. Springbok includes OCR in case bluetooth is not working as well as ability to use Exputt or webcam for putting. It also includes ability to connect other LM's. But that said, both are phenominal connectors and work great!

[@user-df5pq4gr7c]

[@cristovski]

hello ben, my connector doesn't seem to allow me to click on the phone icon to bring up the devices tab. any idea as to what might be causing this ? I can click on settings and putting settings and donate and shop with no problem. but the phone icon doesn't let me click on it. any help would be amazing. thanks for the videos that got me this far.

[@Shamblerock]

I am also using the R10 and no club data is passed along to GSpro....any suggestions?

[@viper0shadow]

I am using r10 and it is not sending the club data, does this connector send it?

[@VoodooZ]

Would be nice if connector could get access to Flightscope's SDK to avoid having to do OCR and get access to all the extra data GSPro doesn't have already (ex. V/H plane, low point, etc.)

[@trpl_bgy]

Love the idea! Add to the ideas/requests/discussions on GitHub! Spring back in the community are awesome and who knows, maybe they can do that also!

[@poidash1]

Hi. Any idea what Im doing wrong? I am using Garmin R10 and have it working on GSPRO with putting, but I cant get any shot data. Eg. Face to Path , Launch angle and so on. I do get carry distance. Cheers

[@SandwichesForTheRoad]

Great video, I’m having trouble keeping it connected with Bluetooth. My PC is 6 feet away from the monitor and I purchased the ASUS Bluetooth connector you linked. Any leads to trouble shoot this? And I did disable the original Bluetooth that was on the PC.

[@trpl_bgy]

I use the Bluetooth adapter on an extension usb cord and run the cord to the MLM so the adapter sits directly under it about 1 inch away. That has fixed my connection woes.

[@robturner2269]

So I got this error code when I went to use the connector with my MLM pro will not connect. I’ve updated the firmware and authentic the awesome golf. I’m kind of lost for options. Any ideas? Here’s the code. / Bluetooth Connection Error Failed to update user token from web API

I have been using the springbok for months now and I love it! Lately i have been having loading issues the program icon is on the taskbar but previews a blank white screen and does not load the window Any idea how I can correct this? i have deleted and re downloaded with no luck

[@trpl_bgy]

Is this for putting? The blank white part you mention?

[@steventran2661]

Thanks for the video, everything worked except it wouldn’t recognize my webcam. Index zero pulls up black screen with putting lines, 1-7 pulls up white error box. GSPro, mlm connected. Any suggestions?

[@trpl_bgy]

If pulls up a white error screen the camera is either open in another app already or you have multiple instances of ball tracking running. Make sure to hit “q” to quit ball tracking when checking the other cams. And make sure the other cameras are not open in any other apps.

[@trpl_bgy]

Yes, most definitely. Just need to connect to web via WiFi or cell. If cell, you will “direct connect” to MLM and then authorize Awesome golf. Simple to do (expires in 24 hours and must reauth after)

[@baskraak8663]

Got it working for one day, was very happy. Unfortuntaly the connector auto starts GSPRO in 1080p and I have everything running 4K here. Can you adjust the auto startup of GSPRO to 4K? Next problem is, i am after a day of not use not able to connect the Garmin R10 anymore. Can't figure out why. Was working fine with the old connector with webcam putting. But springbok connector seems to have changed something.....

[@Springbok331]

Seems strange the connector doesn't do anything that would change anything on the R10, make sure there are no apps running that are using the R10. You may already have tried to reboot the PC, power r10 on/off, unpair the device from Windows and pair again.

[@baskraak8663]

@@Springbok331 Thank you for this input. Tried everything above already before but no succes. I got it working again eventually now. Downloaded and extracted the connector again, still not working, switched usb ports for the bluetooth dongle and then de connector connected to R10 again (windows was already connected so there was no sign the bluetooth usb device was not working correctly). I stopped the auto start of GSPRO so I can choose screen output myself. I hope it will be stable now.

In order to use this with the R10. Do I have to use the Garmin app on my phone. Is there a step by step description of the process. Thanks

There will be an upcoming video showing more precisely. I believe you need to add the device in windows Bluetooth first and then it should connect. We’ll get an instructional made up for you shortly. It might be discussed on Springboks GitHub and you could certainly start a discussion there and likely get the solution. I’ll see what more I can find out in the meantime.

@@robertdudgeon9232 should be relatively straight forward. Start connector, in settings change LM to r10, pair r10 with windows, connect. Start gspro, connect. Setup putting if required. If you want auto start select yes in settings, specify gspro path, next time you start everything will be auto started and connected.

[@kennykovacik9818]

Why do I need awesome golf to run GS Pro with Rapsodo MLM2 Pro?? I don't understand

[@trpl_bgy]

@kennykovacik9818 you do not need awesome golf. Only use their authentication to open up the device so that it can be connected with via Bluetooth. No awesome golf subscription is needed. this is the only way rapsodo mlm2pro can be tricked into accepting a Bluetooth connection

[@redseasnapper5599]

What is the relay server? I have a skytrak but much prefer webcam putting. Currently i am having to close the skytrak connector and launch a garmin connector to putt and then switch back. Would love a more integrated solution and wondered if this may be possible? I currently use the v1.95 connector for skytrak.

[@Springbok331]

The relay server allows you to point any software that connect to gspro currently to the connector instead. All shot will be sent via the relay server to gspro allowing you to run putting out of the connector, the connector connects to gspro. skytrack connector relay server(putting) gspro

[@Springbok331]

Hey… I would try to use my Trackman 4 with GSPro. Do you have a description for this ? Normally I play with my Uneekor XO the GSPro. But I’m curious to see how it works in GSPro with a TM4

[@trpl_bgy]

Trackman 4 is supported with this connector :) if you go here: github.com/springbok/MLM2PRO-GSPro-Connector/wiki you can see how it takes a program on your computer, whatever the Trackman interface is, and you name that as your window. You then define your ROI's by putting squares around the data that needs to be sent to GSPro. you hit start/connect and voila, it will send the data from the trackman program straight in to GSPro. This is OCR or image recognition reading that is sending it to GSPro. If you ask around on the github or do a bit of searching, i know there are guys using Trackman4 with this connector and adding Exputt along side it. Reach out if have quesitons I'll be happy to try to help!

[@trpl_bgy]

Same as here, where it takes the data from the MLM2 Pro screen and you identify what data you want sent to GSPro using the blue ROI squares github.com/springbok/MLM2PRO-GSPro-Connector

No, it’s windows only

[@conversiondesign]

For the R10 the putting app stays open the entire time. Is there a way to close to when the club is not on putter?

[@trpl_bgy]

It stays “open” but will hide itself behind GSPro when not on putter. Meant to be put on same screen as GSPro I believe and then “show” when in use and “hide” when not. This should happen automatically. But also if you have a feature request or it is not doing that, springbok is great at making changes and updates on his GitHub.

[@Springbok331]

Does it move the window front/back when clubs are changed, does this happen for you? I could change it so it show/hide the window. Is there an issue with how it works now?

Hi Ben. I assume you are running Windows 11. I have Windows 10 & can’t find an advanced option for Bluetooth settings. My Mlm2pro won’t connect to the connector. It is located 4 inches from my pc so I’m not sure what to do. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[@trpl_bgy]

Can you try this for me: 1. Go to Rapsodo App 2. Go to Troubleshoot - Reinstall Firmware (something about this puts it in pairing mode) 3. When complete, Restart the MLM2Pro by holding down the side button (off, then on) 4. Try connector again. We've had feedback that this is working for some who randomly can't get it to connect. If don't mind, leave feedback here on your result after trying this.

[@cmonrichard]

Thanks Ben. Did this and managed to get a connection straight away. I then closed the connector to save the settings and when I re-launched it wouldn’t connect again. I don’t have time right now to restart the MlM2 pro but I’ll do that later and see it I can connect again. That said, this connector is an absolute game changer. Thanks so much for the advise & prompt response. You’re a champ!!

[@Springbok331]

Win10 doesn't have that setting, its much more forgiving than win11 :) You need to pair r10 to Windows before you connect.

After a couple of false starts (and some frustration) I re-watched the video and even on windows 10 I get direct connection without opening the Rapsodo app & MLM2pro worked flawlessly. Quick connection , no misreads, (on the GSPro practice range at least. Can’t wait to try a round now.
