TGC/Protee - GSX Settings and Bluetooth adapter

[JV17]

If you have another Bluetooth device, like a cellphone, try connecting that to the computer and see what happens. Also, you can try connecting gc2 to a tablet. This should help you eliminate things.

HW, I thought of that too and got the same result. Something is up with the adapter. Has anyone had success with an adapter using Windows 8 and the GC2?

Yes, definitely try a different brand Bluetooth adapter. If you're using the metal protective cage, try connecting without the GC2 being in the cage. Also, don't just plug the adapter in the back of the computer. Use a 6 foot USB extension cable to attach the Bluetooth adapter. This will put it out in the open an allow for a better signal.

Hey guys... Finally got my GC2 today! Having issues connecting to the computer via Bluetooth. The computer finds the GC2's signal, but then seems to immediately drop it. I don't think this is a distance issue, so it may just be a bad dongle. What Bluetooth USB adapter do you guys use? Thanks!

Ok, thanks for the code 0000 as that worked and I was able to set up the GC2 by way of the bluetooth icon from the bottom of the screen with the arrow up. Clicked the bluetooth icon and when asking the code I used 0000 and it worked.

Shut the protee stuff down and started again and the GSX slider worked to connect again.

Next test will be to see if I have the port forwarding set up for on line play. Then to see how fast this Geforce GTX780 card is.

Very nice!

that's the thing. from what I can tell the GC2 generates a random code each time it's powered on. Windows will say is 253456 correct and I check yes and they pair. Next time I try to use it I have to remove it from windows and then power it on. Then the message will pop up and say is 112050 correct and I click yes and it will pair. Just weird and I'm sure its a window bluetooth stack thing

Try 0000, or you can google gc2 Bluetooth pass code

[mmlincon]

That is just weird, screenshot?

I think it may be the bluetooth password. It's asking to enter a passcode for your device. You might need to enter the same passcode into the device. Or try entering a passcode on it.

Does not give an option to bypass the password.

Just weird that it worked fine on the Foresight software with Bluetooth sending the signal.

Is it displaying a bluetooth password or is it asking for a user password? If it's bluetooth I just said yes and it connected. Mine just won't auto connect if I shutdown the GC2 and start it back up. Kind of annoying but I'm sure its a windows bluetooth thing which a new "feature" of windows 8.1.

[SFR]

I am trying to get my new windows 8.1 computer set up with the Protee GSX setup. The GC2 worked with bluetooth and the forsight software right off but I am fighting with the GSX finding the GC2 and the right com port. Windows 8.1 is asking for a password to set up the GC2 with bluetooth. Waiting for support.

[mmlincon]

yeah well it's Window 8.1 with all the stupid wizards. I'll see what I can find

[Maverick]

Yeah, there should be a setting to let it reconnect automatically under Bluetooth settings panel.

[mmlincon]

Hmmm, mine isn't I've had to remove the device and re-add it. Might be a windows setting - I'll look into it. I noticed the GC2 had a different code each time so was wonder if that was it.
