Webcames only need USB 2.0, the issue with length you were having can be solved with a "Active" USB extension cable. you can easilly go 30+ ft with an active cable in the mix. or a powered USB hub in between the PC and the Webcam to help trasfer more power / increase stability. I have my webcam about ~40 ft of cable from my pc, i do USB active cable to USB power hub in my basement, thats 25 ft of cable. then a usb extension that is 10ft + the webcam cable. works flawlessly.

Just saw this video and it inspired me to get a webcam so I can putt on my garmin R10 through gspro. But I’m having some trouble getting the webcam to read putts once I start hitting them over 7-8’ in my sim room. Any suggestions or other videos that could help? Thanks and keep the great content coming!

Your channel is my spirit animal! I love everything you put out & you have been an incredible source of inspiration for my current garage build. A couple questions: Do you find that colored balls work better for webcam putting? Did you notice a tangible difference between the various webcam resolutions/fps or is it more along the lines of it either works / or it doesn't? Curious if it's worth the premium to get a 1080p/60fps or 4k/30fps vs 1080p/30fps (ie: more accurate, less misreads, better visual overlay, etc). Thanks!
@trpl_bgy20 күн бұрын
@@glossolalian Thank you! So yes, colored balls are a MUST. I tested many and the linked ones in description are what I’ve had best luck with and ball has soft feel to it like premium ball feels. For the camera. It’s really about how well the camera picks up colors in low light. If your sim room is really dark you might need a better low light cam. But honestly I haven’t found one that doesn’t work. Higher frames can be better but also more frames = less light able to get to sensor because frame open less time. To simplify the answer.. I’m using my 30 fps one permanently because I wanted my 60 for content shots. I have no issues with my 30fps. None. So far, I’ve tried 4 differentl cams and I’ve been able to make them all work with orange colored ball and green floor turf.

Thank you for the comment, compliment, and question. Glad it has helped. If mount to wall you need to relocate over to the wall to putt.. that was what I didn’t love about it but it does work well. I mount overhead so I can put where I hit from.

Yes, You have to set it up as a mirror and do ROI’s. There are some discussions on GitHub which might explain it all in more detail and how others have done it! Since I don't have one.... I know there are some things to do like gspro license change to API and then there is also something to do with chipping... It is best that I point you to the discussions to see what limitations there are and how to set it up. github.com/springbok/MLM2PRO-GSPro-Connector/discussions If you look a few comments down there are others who have gotten it to work on the Mevo+ so I know it does. I wish I had a Mevo+ for a week so I could make a video on how to!

This might be an oversimplified question but bear with me 😁. Are you opening putting with the connector on say an auto start? Do you get a “ball tracking” window on the screen with no device message? Or just no open at all? 2 things (pry not the case) 1. Make sure all files are still in original folder together. The icon to open the connector and all files must still be in same folder. 2. (Silly but must say) the app auto-hides putting until putter is selected as a club. Could it be simply hidden?
@rlfloyd015 күн бұрын
Yes, I’m opening with auto start and the putting says it’s running but I don’t get a window opening at all regardless of camera 0-7. I have gone into the app and tried to putt selecting putter but still nothing happens. I am executing the app from a copy that I moved to my desktop as I thought that you weren’t supposed to run it from the source files.
@trpl_bgy5 күн бұрын
@@rlfloyd01 this could be the fix. Copy the unzipped folder to desktop and keep all files together. Then run the app. If you copied the app to the desktop it can not “find” the executable for the ball tracking to run nor can it save or execute any settings. Need all files in original folder to work. The folder can be moved to desktop but no files can be added or removed from the unzipped folder. If you want a desktop icon you can “create a shortcut” of the executable file and move ONLY the shortcut to the desktop. Give that a try. Also you have to select putter within GSPro to change it on the connector and pop up the putting window. To clarify and confirm, you do want to run the exe from the source files and from within the unzipped folder package.

@@trpl_bgy Appreciate the follow-up/response! I was able to get it working although it required access to the FS Golf PC app ($99 one-time purchase) to make it seamless via PC. I could have saved the $100 and did a mobile device screen capture. As expected, there is an additional 1-2 second delay on the shot within GS Pro but the tradeoff to be able to use webcam putting in my opinion is worth it.
@John-ei5uz6 ай бұрын
Nice video again. I have my camera set up from my ceiling also and putt pretty much just to the side of my hitting area so I putt of smooth turf not worn out by my iron shots. I had it attached to my projector for a while but the projector was a bit old and a lamp projector so the fan made vibrations that affected the webcam image stability. I got a new BenQ 4k projector but it's still a lamp projector because I just can't afford a 4k laser projector. You obviously haven't had any problems with vibration from your projector. Do you think the height of the webcam influences the accuracy of the putting app? I have been trying to keep it at around 8ft but if even higher isn't a problem that will solve some issues for me. Thanks
@trpl_bgy6 ай бұрын
No vibration issues for me. I have it mounted to one of the arms on the ceiling mount. Lower height would in theory get better light but if you can still dial in tracking from higher it should function just as well. I like your idea of having smooth turf to put on! I may need to think up a way to integrate for myself!

How do find the springbok connector for accuracy on yhe MlmPro2. There seams to be some issues with it when set up for Mevo+. The offline deviation on the GS pro is way off what the FS Golf app reads
@trpl_bgy4 ай бұрын
The connector sends the numbers exactly as they are sent in the Rapsodo software, so in that sense, the connector works perfectly. However, GSpro has its own flight algorithms and I tend believe they are more realistic. I do notice a little bit more curvature in GS pro but again, the data is the same in both places. I have GS pro on force realistic in settings.
