Control ProTee and TGC with a tablet

[Per Steffensen]

Hi

Just bought a ProTee Base Pack 2. Plan to buy a powerful Windows 10 PC with a good processor and graphics-card to run ProTee software and TGC. When I am playing and training (on the virtual range) I would like to be able to control setup, mode, club selection etc from a tablet - just as seen in misc videos on YouTube. Can I use an iPad, or does it have to be Android? Will an old iPad2 work, or does it have to be newer? Which minimum version of iOS?

I found this video on setting it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q2G60cWKd8
Are there a more up-to-date guide? The video is from 2012.

Seems this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0QlRxEf2qY is using a touch screen connected directly to the computer. Maybe that is the way? Or can the same thing be achieved with a tablet connected via Wi-Fi or Bluetooth or something...

You wanna use AirKeyboard. Search around the forum here for that and you’ll find the post. It’s awesome.

Yes Airkeyboard is great so I will second that. It is almost a must to playing with a group. I sit next to the computer and would have to move everytime someone needs to change clubs or aim. Not so with the Airkeyboard

Thanks guys. I will go for Air Keyboard with TGC layout for a starter, and see how that works out

I'll chime in with my touchscreen option. First, obviously you need a touchscreen monitor for your PC.

With a bit of help from someone more knowledgeable I built a AutoHotkey "macro" that overlays touchscreen commands onto the TGC screen. I can basically do most actions from the touchscreen. Choose clubs, scout the hole, etc.

This is a picture of the screen and the touchscreen buttons.

I don't use the keyboard for most TGC functions. Touchscreen works very well.
