Unlock Direct PC Play: Ditch the Middleman for GSPRO with MLM2Pro Bluetooth Connection!

[@trpl_bgy]

Update! NEW Detailed set up video going over updated connector here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfMqWulh6yFnpI

[@FreedomGolfClub]

Let's gooooooo. I've been here since your inception in the community fb group 💪👌

[@deantondreau5402]

Another awesome video Ben!! Personally, I believe this is another game changer in the world of MLM2PRO by removing the tablet from the equation when interfacing with GSPRO. This reduces the complexity of setting up the connector. Now, if we can just simplify the webcam putting setup, we may just be golden! 😊

They need to hire you.

[@philbrown7197]

Awesome job! Could you give us a couple options you would recommend on PC for GSPro? I’m just starting to look for that piece

[@jasoncambra4449]

Do you need a subscription to get the MLM 2 pro to get into pairing mode?

[@trpl_bgy]

You need a Rapsodo subscription to use “3rd Party Apps” and authorize the Bluetooth via Awesome Golf. Once you’ve done this, then you can pair with the Bluetooth connector. AG has to be authorized prior to connecting (each day) as it expires every 24 hours

[@aaronohara6368]

Can you choose E6 here instead of AG? If not is a AG subscription required?

[@trpl_bgy]

@aaronohara6368 great question. No, you must choose awesome golf. No subscription is required.

[@wslice]

@@trpl_bgy so just to be clear, you can get spin axis/spin rate info into gspro with this connector without the Rapsodo subscription?

[@kevinchrystal]

Great video!!! Looking forward to trying this method of connection for GS Pro. With this method is there a way to show impact vision on the impact screen? Also really looking forward to the simulator build videos. I am thinking of redoing my floor and I am excited to see how you built yours.

[@trpl_bgy]

Late to the reply here. My apologies. But for you and others with this question. OCR method is needed for the impact camera to be utilized at same time. WIth BT connection we can't screen mirror from the app to get the impact replay unfortunately.

Thanks a ton!

Still watching.. Wanted to comment and thank you!

[@trpl_bgy]

I appreciate that!

[@EricGauthier-sr4bc]

Thank you for the video. I have an Exputt RG, does the connector work with it as well? Just subscribed, I think yours and Joe Lagowski’s videos are really helpful for getting the info out there!👍

[@trpl_bgy]

It "can" (I believe, but do not know) if you run two connectors. I would tell you I have a feeling there is more to come on this where it can all be one in 1 connector version 😉. Lots of great work being done out there.

[@EricGauthier-sr4bc]

[@7ysonW]

I use exputt with this connector and it works great. You have to still use the springbok connector and just change a couple settings

[@codythomas9661]

This is great news! Thanks for the video! We need to find out if we can still get spin rates to gspro without mlm2pro subscription through this route?? I know the numbers aren’t visible without it but that data has to be available somewhere.

[@MichaelGallagher-z6k]

I don't think you will have access to the 3rd Party apps screen, if you don't have the MLM2Pro Subscription

[@codythomas9661]

@@MichaelGallagher-z6k ​​⁠where are people getting this information? Its not listed on their “what the subscription gives you” page

[@trpl_bgy]

It is true we will need the subscription to authorize 3rd party apps. So even with the direct connect we will need to maintain subscription membership

[@DoctorMTG]

Ben. Great stuff for my pending build. My eye caught your white floor frame. Did you build that?

[@trpl_bgy]

Yes I did. Latest video out has all you need here! 😉

[@davidmennaman4511]

Another great video Ben...Thank you. So to be clear, you set a Bluetooth receiver dongle right beside your MLM2 running via usb cable to usb on your computer ? I see your links provided but also have read there are usb adapters and usb receivers. Can you detail this please ? Thank you.

[@trpl_bgy]

Correct, USB A extension cable with ASUS USB Bluetooth Adapter on the end. Disable my intel bluetooth in device settings before installing it. This reduces the distance the MLM has to communicate from to inches vs 15'. I could not get it to connect with computer more than 5' away so this extension got the signal close and works great.

[@davidmennaman4511]

Thank you for the clarification. I'll give that a try. It's been so hit and miss. I have managed to connect for short periods. But always have had to leave the Rapsodo and Awesome Golf authentication screens open on iPad. If I close them as per your video the MLM2 doesnt register shots.

[@trpl_bgy]

@@davidmennaman4511 That does not sound correct to me. You should try to connect on the ipad, authenticate. Then DISCONNECT from the MLM with the ipad. Once you've disconnected and turned Bluetooth off on your ipad. The light will go red, and then you can open the connector and connect through your pc. It is not meant or programed to work with both open.

[@davidmennaman4511]

You're the best. I'll follow explicitly 👍

[@Noel-AllardCharles]

That is great stuff - can you show a bit more from the download of the files until all set up? That would help :)

[@trpl_bgy]

Hopefully this newer version helps. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iGfMqWulh6yFnpI

[@JohnPatynkoIII]

Just curious about the webcam putting. Is there something included in the connector that allows me to put. I know I need to buy a webcam. Do you have any video showing how to set up camera for putting using the connector from Duwayne

[@trpl_bgy]

So the putting is exactly same program included in Springboks connector. My video showing how to set up the Springbok connector as well as color setting for webcam would be the same here. I may put out a new video showing setting up webcam putting in Duwaynes specifically as you are not first to ask. If you have set up webcam on springbok. You can copy the config.ini file from the ball tracking folder in springboks and replace the one in the ball tracking folder in Duwaynes with it and it will be all set up (as you previously did in springboks ocr connector).

[@JohnPatynkoIII]

I hand yet to set up webcam putting. Planning on doing that later this week. And Duwaynes connector is the only one I have ever downloaded or used. This is all new to me and I really want to be able to put

[@diyard3001]

Nice video! To use the Rapsodo with GSPro, do the annual fees come to $250 for GSPro and $200 for Rapsodo? I assume you need the Rapsodo subscription to get the Bluetooth connection to work.

[@trpl_bgy]

Thanks for watching! You are Correct. Need Rapsodo Sub and GSPro Sub. Do not need awesome golf Subscription, only use their authentication. I would recommend this updated way to connect. kzbin.info/www/bejne/paeVp3-KqdN2h5Y

[@peekps]

Thanks, TB, looking forward to setting this up. It seeps like at this point ExPutt is NOT supported but will be soon?

[@peekps]

just got all hooked up including ExPutt. I appreciate you and your excellent content.

[@trpl_bgy]

Exputt is supported through the Relay section of the settings. You would have to run in combination with Springbok's Exputt connector and then turn the relay on to the Duwaynes connector.

[@peekps]

@@trpl_bgy Ι got it working pretty much right away. Duwayne helped me out. The one piece I did wrong was NOT making the mlm2pro active in springbok's connector. Once I did that, bingo it all worked great. Thanks for the great videos,TB. Looking forward to one BT connector that combines sb's work and Duwayne's but I'm not complaining. All works really well as is.

[@EricCameron-q6o]

Wow this is great. Do you have to do the Bluetooth thing each time with awesomegolf?

[@trpl_bgy]

1 time per day I believe

[@xaviera8761]

Do you need the rapsodo subscription? Or can you just have the free version to run your GS subscription??

[@trpl_bgy]

Currently, you’ll need the Rapsodo subscription. You have to authorize the connection daily through the third-party apps of the Rapsodo app. This is only available if you have the subscription.

[@xaviera8761]

@@trpl_bgy so $200 Rapsodo subscription needed and then $250 GS Pro subscription needed to enjoy GSpro with the mlm2 pro

Sir i need help with skytrakasia , Do you have a way to connect sir.

[@TheTerrymatthe]

I have followed every step in your video and it was clear I was able to get everything to connect, but the web cam putting has not been configured, did I miss something or is there other steps you did in the background to get your web cam putting config. If so, can you do another video explaining how to configure the web cam putting? Thanks for the content.

[@trpl_bgy]

Webcam putting set up video is seperate configuration but done the same (hit "a" for andvaced settings and "d" for mask settings) as in my webcam putting HSV Color settings video

[@TheTerrymatthe]

@trpl_bgy yes I have used the video to setup springbok connector. How do you do with thos bluetooth connector. Not recognizing camera input or are you just running the old putting view software in the background?

[@ftycksen]

One key step missing in the video is making sure that on your Windows computer that your Bluetooth settings are set to Advanced... when you get to the setup for Bluetooth & Devices, further down the page you'll see "Bluetooth device discovery", if it's set to "Default" just change it to "Advanced" and then you'll be able to quickly discover the MLM2Pro device. However, finding the API key seems to be a big missing step in the process, so any insights would be very much appreciated.

[@jaradcohen]

I have done this and connector still sais looking for devices. If I manually select mlm2 pro on computer Bluetooth it connects but still doesn’t work. Any ideas?? Cheers.

[@ftycksen]

I had the same problem. I restarted the PC and reset the MLM2 and then opened the Connector again and it all connected.

[@MotoRiff77]

Hey Ben, thanks for the video. I got connected and it was so stable. I had no ghost shots. I did see there was an update and updated it but now I cannot get it to connect again. It says it’s connecting to bluez5.50 I have a couple quick questions Where do you get the key from? Do you have to purchase secret key? Do you have to purchase awesome Golf to authenticate every time? Thanks man.

[@MainStreetGolf]

Do you have to have a mat that is "continuous" in order for putting to work with the MLM2Pro or can the putt run off the end of a mat and still work?

[@trpl_bgy]

It can run off the end. Just need consistent contrast between surface and ball color for the ball tracking to pick it up on wbecam

[@nuttyboy8900]

Shame you cannot bypass the Awesome Golf part and get the Rapsodo into bluetooth mode directly, similar to the OG Skytrak Connector (I know this uses Wifi/Direct/USB) but bypasses need for Subscription.

[@trpl_bgy]

There's great work being done... Have a feeling this is just the beginning!

Could this potentially be done with the local network connection instead of BT? Hoping to run GSPRO on a PC not near the sim room.

[@trpl_bgy]

well we can do this by running the connector on 1 PC and GSPro on a different PC... then opening a port for the connector to talk to your PC that is not near the sim room... you could then send the Image back over the network and display it on your PC in the sim room... This is possible currently. Would you like to know more about? Requires 2 pc's.
