SkyTrak PC - Beta

[luv2golf]

I did not see the feature in Seth's release notes but please tell me that you at least got the promised accelerometer calibration function?
If yes can somebody review it and tell us if it works?

Nope not in the PC version. Not that I have seen.

Tried the past couple days and having same problem as described by apljb. Win 7 64bit. Direct Usb connection.

So, I managed to get the GIP registered to the unit via Skygolf Chat support, which was incredibly painless ( ), and successfully connected and into the beta app via Network Mode tonight. The app works well, and is much faster to register shots on screen than the iPad app on the old iPad I was using.

I still cannot see any mechanism to connect via USB. The device shows up in Devices & Printers as a Rapsodo Personal Launch monitor, but uses a default Microsoft WinUsb driver which almost appears like a drive, in that it shows as Ejectable in the Safely Remove hardware option, but I can see no option in the app to connect that way.

For the guys that have USB working, (or SkyTrak_Seth ), how should it appear, how do you connect via USB?

SkyTrak_Seth Seth, would it be possible to run the regular iPad app using a iOS simulator like iPadian, Bluestacks, or even the iOS Dev Kit from Apple?

This is the exact reason why I have not used the new PC software. All I got out of the release alerts is... Now we are actually starting the clock on the game improvement package. The changes I want to see have not been released yet.

Brilliant, so as predicted all lemons and no grapes. Let's hope it's in the official iOS and PC app. I can see why Skytrak focused on the license management in the beta since that is the most important feature (well depends on who you ask I guess) and the one that can cause the biggest problems.

So in summary. The stuff we want and would pay for has been ready for several months and was a piece of cake to develop.
Sim SDK, accelerometer calibration, decent range app. It has been held back while they have been busy developing and optimizing stuff we don't care for. e.g.
License management, SkyGolf cloud data and who knows what else.
Imagine if they would have just sold us the stuff we care for a long time ago without wasting all those resources on stuff nobody wants.

Yea I was wondering this too, haven't seen any indication of it on the pc app as far as I could see so far, just the new battery indicator (which is nice)

Really...........Hmm, Ok, now I'm gong to officially bang my head. Are you sure your not in network mode and just plugged in VIA USB to Charge?

I'll check it again closer tonight and let you know. I had the skygolf help service link my gip with my account and then deleted the pc app and redownloaded and everything connected perfectly when I had the usb in. I'll see if I can make sure it wasn't just the network mode all along but didn't think so because it reconnected to the Wi-Fi (lights blinking and all) after I unplugged it

There are no geographical constraints to any connection with the app in the UK store. PC is a non-regulated connection as per your location.
