I have been using the connector for three days. I was about to sell my Rapsodo because of the problems I've had. This connector has been fantastic. I no longer have chipping issues and being able to use GSPRO so seamlessly has been great.
Another vote. Two days in here. 8 full rounds so far with ZERO issues. There were times before this where I would have time for a round and either been foiled by issues or realized I had forgot to charge iPAD. With this if it strikes me to go to the garage and play, within 30 seconds I'm teeing off with no AirPlay, etc.
this is incredible. I was just about to pull the trigger on a skytrak+, the timing could not have been more spot on. Once again, thanks for putting out this fantastic content!
This connector is definitely the major milestone for the mlm2pro community. Next is to get the impact camera data, with that data, it is possible to analysis ball spin rate and spin axis even with regular ball (a ball with a center line will be enough). A simple python openCV program will do a job.
Hi Joe love your work!! Any idea if the rapsodo will still work without the annual premium subscription? Now that it has the BT connection? I guess you would lose the spin axis? If so I would suppose it would be blocked in future firmware updates?
Hi joe, just ordered my gaming pc, but just noticed it doesn't have bluetooth, can I use a usb bluetooth connector and connect my rapsodo mlm2lro through this to my pc and use the mlm2pro through pc to my projector. Sorry, been a few years away from computers now, so it's all a bit alien to me now.....
No stress mate you just need to buy a seperate Bluetooth dongle from Amazon 👍👍 they are cheap and you can get a good one that will work great. Put it on a USB extension cable and you can get it really close to your mlm2pro
Hello. First of all, thanks for the video and the time used to do it for the people, well appreciated. I have done the connection of the mlm2 to windows, but without gspro. The question is, is it possible to connect the image to play the mlm2 games and see it at the computer screen?? Thanks in advance
Exciting times in the world of launch monitors. And I'm sure the prices will just keep coming down in the next few years thanks to the increase in competition. Most of these devices are within a stone's throw of each other with respect to accuracy.
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.
The Bluetooth receiver is junk on the rapsodo! But I got a 16.5’ usb cable and put my bluetooth hub right under the mlm pro2 played a whole round with no problem! My biggest hang up was Bluetooth the whole time. I had zero issues connecting to gs pro. My first Bluetooth connector was a 4.0 usb dongle. That didn’t work so I got a techkey dongle model bt833 off Amazon it has a 328’ range. And still had to put it under the rapsodo. Thanks for the video and all the help Joe! Cheers 🍻
Glad it's sorted mate! And wow ok maybe I need to look into that. My iPad is literally 2 feet away from my MLM2PRO... When connected to my PC it's solid though. I don't get it.
Shot shape.. that's the biggest reason the MLM2PRO is incredibly accurate when it comes to shot shape. The Garmin is just estimating it and can get it wrong especially with the driver and woods.
Sry if this is a dumb question, but where do I find or get the "Set Web API Token-key" I just get to the discord chanel then i dont know where to go or find it?
Hey mate if you post in the MLM2PRO chat that you need it then it will be directly messaged to you. Not a dumb question at all! Discord can be quite hard to navigate when you first join it.
hey ive just purchased a rapsodo and am abbout to buy a subscription to gspro, when doing so you are asked to pick your lauch monitor, obviously the rapsodo isnt there what should i pick? thanks for any help.
hey Joe - great video. I think there's a newer version now - I was never prompted to add the secret key and that field isn't editable. I clicked the discord link but it's just to the Simulator Golf Tour - not sure how to find the secret key needed for this?
th-cam.com/video/DRWMju2-atI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=mhtOlNcE4m9oZ6WP Hi Andy, this is the one you want! It's up to date and does not require the key anymore. Here is the Discord link to the Joe Lagowski group. discord.gg/zc7AmR7k
Like what I see. Love the device hope they can keep up the work around it and use this as an example of where they need to go with the app and allow it on pc
I'm having trouble understanding why it's advantageous to connect to a computer/pc? What do tablets lack, screen size, processing speed, projector/tv connectivity?
It's the processing power and connecting to GS Pro.. unfortunately right now GS Pro doesn't offer a iPad app. They only offer a windows version. So connecting to a PC allows you to access more realistic and better looking software.
I have followed the instructions and have been able to connect everything. However, the webcam putting does not work. Is there configurations that need to be done if so can you do a video on how to configure the webcam putting within this connector. Thanks.
You have to redo your webcam putting settings, copy them from how you set them up for the springbok connector and re-apply them. there is a different config file under the ball tracker file in for the new BT connector also.
Thanks for the video this will help tremendously quick question does the USB C connector not do data on the MLM? You would think you could just wire it up to things USB
Hey mate sorry for the late reply no the USB C port to the best of my knowledge doesn't do data so wiring it up wouldn't work. It would be amazing if it did!
@@JLagGOLF This would have been a game changer for them if they would have implemented it. quick ? do you know how to get the Secert Key for the direct bluetooth connector. I did the update and it ask for it
I can't wait to try this.. I was about to sell my MLM2pro cause of the issues with GS Pro. So irritated to subscribe to GS Pro and have all these issue with the MLM.. fingers crossed this is the way!
The discord link keeps telling me invalid invite. I download the zip file and loaded all requested info...minus the key. I can't get to the key because of the invite issue. Can you assist?
Hey mate sorry I'm definitely not all over this connector just yet. Your best bet would be to join the Facebook group and ask there or head over to the discord and DM Duwayne.
Wow, amazing!! Someone test this new connector BT, is it stable enought ? I have GSPro and Rapsodo but my computer and screen are not ready for use. Thanks!! Etienne
Hey Joe, I have recently purchased a Rapsodo MLM2 Pro based on your videos alone! Keep up the good work. The only issue I’m having is my session data isn’t saving once I finish a session..have you ever had this issue or know or anyone that has? Any help will be massively appreciated.
I love it mate and thanks for commenting! I haven't had this issue no... Are you sure you're selecting the correct tab? When you go on the app it will show you the practice session and you have to select the range section to then see that session data. That's the only thing I can think of.. let me know
What happens if you don’t awesome golf? I believe you get a 1 year trial with the MLM 2 Pro… are you stuck paying for that and the GS Pro in the future?
I am confused, so this is only for GS Pro. I just bought mlm2 pro, can I hook up to PC and just run the mlm2 pro courses etc hoping this would be less buggy than iPad connect
@@jasonsteigleman260 did anyone answer you,im wondering the same thing,i just want to set the rapsodo up with my macbook pro without any 3rd partie apps like gspro
Hey mate the easiest thing to do is pause the video alternatively reach out to me on Facebook or via email joe@joelagowskigolf.com and I'll help out! Cheers
Hey Ryan thanks for that mate! That's a tough question... I haven't used the OG skytrak but if you're using it for simulated golf then arguably it would be better than the MLM2PRO because it can do putting and it should be better at those short chip shots.. if you are having issues with the skytrak and want to upgrade for simulated golf the eye mini lite would be a good option but it isn't really a portable unit. The MLM2PRO is an amazing unit and super accurate but still isn't a great solution for GS Pro. It all depends on your use case. The MLM2Pro is an amazing device for what it's intended to be used for.
If you follow the steps in the video it's very easy but the thing to be aware of is this isn't a really stable connector yet like I say in the video it's in its early stages. It will evolve and keep getting better over the coming months. But when it works.. wow! GS Pro is next level! You will see the comments are filled with mixed reviews. Some people have zero issues like myself and others can't connect. I know the guys are working on it to make it stable and the same for everyone but it will just take time.
@@JLagGOLF fair enough, you said a while ago that you would recommend the Garmin for a cheap indoor sim. Is that still the case or would you now recommend the MLM2pro?
well, this would be great to try and use, especially with the updates that have been happening. Unfortunately no one seems to have the secret key, many people are asking on discord, and no one seems to have it. This is a bit frustrating to have something like this out there, but not be able to use it. My busy is coming over tomorrow to hit in the sim, and it would be nice to have this setup and try out.
@davevoyer8092 if you pause the video at 8:23, you'll see the full code on screen. Just copy it down, remember it's case sensitive, and type it in when you do this process. That's what I did, and it worked great.
So there are a few people running it on MAC using parallels or something.. I'm not to sure tbh. It's probably a question for the Facebook group. I have heard of people running GS Pro on MAC but not natively
Will I be able to direct connect to my PC if it’s upstairs and my simulator is in the garage? If not, I wonder if I can connect it to my Fire Stick using Moonlight.
It's worth a shot for the MLM. I have my gaming PC upstairs and I push the video to my projector in the garage. I control the PC with Bluetooth mouse and keyboard from there with no problem, hopefully the MLM can hold a connection and push shot data with the same stability.
Unfortunately I don't have a Trackman or I would definitely do it. It will be extremely similar to the old way of doing the mlm2pro so you will have to take a screenshot and use ROIs or Regions of interest.
Definitely not a ploy.. I don't have any affiliation to the discord I just didn't want to hand it out.. I thought I'd respect the developer and let him give it out. Also it's in the video feel free to pause it. Cheers
I need some help please. I got a message that the third party app expired. Please re-authorize in the Rapsodo App. I bought the equipment from someone and I am trying to get it connected.

Man this connector is a game changer. Been playing around with it today and it’s already better then the springbok connector in my opinion

do you have to open your rapsodo app everytime you want to connect the mlm2pro to your PC?
Not every time but you need to authenticate the e6 connection every 24 hrs
Is the Rapsodo subscription necessary to get all of the device's ball reading features with GSPro? Thanks!
Yes unfortunately you will still need the Rapsodo subscription for this to all work.
Very informative, Joe! Thanks for all you do!
Can you use this same connector to play e6 via PC or is there another way?
Unfortunately no we are still waiting on the PC e6 connector! 😭
I cant find the secret key. Do I still need it? where do I find it? Looked on discord
You say it was so easy. Did not look easy to me, lol. I am sure it will be easier each time you do it, so hoping for the best.
Once you have it downloaded and connected all you have to do is launch the program. I am up and going usually within 1 minute.

Can I use the same code you used? Discount won’t except me
Hey mate yes absolutely you can use the same code 👍👍
ALso realized I can use the ap to align the unit even when connected to gspro
Oooh ok that's fantastic I'll definitely check that out!

Did you have to use the black dot balls? I couldn't quite tell.
Yes you still need to use the RPT balls for spin axis and backspin
Will I be able to direct connect to my PC if it’s upstairs and my simulator is in the garage? If not, I wonder if I can connect it to my Fire Stick using Moonlight.
