  • GSX - Status input

    Finding the GSX status input quite annoying in that you have to keep switching on and off to try to get to connect.... I'm wondering if using a USB cable might just be easier.

    i know right once you get it on it runs smooth its the initial getting it to connect that takes a minute. I am almost positive that hardwire will not run TGC.

      USB won't work. Are you using a USB extension cable and the Asus adapter? Give it about 2-3 seconds after hitting connect. It sometimes has a brief lag before connecting.

      I had some trouble initially the first month I had mine. Since then, its connected immediately almost every time.

      In the event it doesn't connect. Don't mess with the settings. First just try hitting a shot on the gc2, then hit connect. If that doesn't work, reboot GC2. If that doesn't work reboot computer.

        It's very hit and miss usually takes me a number of tries to connect in the first place, and craps out mid round as well, last two rounds, I think had to close the GSX and restart twice in each round... GC2 works great as does FR1, but jury is definitely out on GSX and TGC right now...

          Yes, this.

          My bluetooth is practically touching my GC2.

          Mine is 8 feet away. So GSX only works with bluetooth?

            Yes. USB traffic is encrypted and therefore useless for 3rd party software integration. It's a must.

            Dumb question. Does this mean GC2s that are not "A", don't work with TGC?

          The closer the Bluetooth the better the connection. I ended up buying an extended range Bluetooth and an extension cable. I had similar problems as you that are gone now. Goat is right. Really close.

                Mine is a Trednet TBW-107UB Extended Range Bluetooth adapter. It was like 30 bucks. I also ordered an 8 foot usb extension and ran it in the room. I bought it all from Amazon.

                  What I find strange is mine had been working perfectly up until 10 days ago,I would slide the the connect button and poof...,both in and out were connected. Now I have been experiencing all the things you guys describe.....error message, have to keep sliding it back and forth, turn things off and on....................I didn't change anything......once it connects it fine??????

                    In my experience this is always a Bluetooth issue. First, are any devices also Bluetooth connected or are there Bluetooth profiles? Try deleting all of them. For example, if I connect the ES16, when I try to connect the GC2 I have some issues and have to delete the ES profile. The R Motion has its own dongle so never an issue. Second, delete the GC2 profile then reconnect it. That may help. It's finicky for sure but if nothing else is on it it seems more stable.
