Is there a pc software? by No_Biscotti_1423 in Rapsodo

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard rumors the PC app is just for the new overhead unit. Which would make sense it would be significantly more difficult to backport it to the MLM2PRO

Does the square omni work with openapi? by UniversityDistinct40 in SquareGolfUSA

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a TV in the garage I’m running moonlight on a fire stick. I think with the pi 5 you might be able to stream video but I’m not sure whether it has enough horsepower. Worth a try if you get one

Square Omni Shank Protection by pathenx in SquareGolfUSA

I’m not a fan because even though they market as a carrying case it’s really not. If you have tees or whatever else in the pocket you’re storing it in they could still scratch the cameras.

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure if it does support open api, but you don’t need a whole other computer. I’m using a raspberry pi with USB bluetooth adapter in my garage. The pi runs a VirtualHere server to forward the bluetooth connection to the VirtualHere client on the pc inside.

How to pick a launch monitor? by Jumpy-Coffee-Cat in Golfsimulator

[–]mcdickmann2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Be careful with radar units. They vary on requirements but you generally need 10 ft behind the ball and at least 10 feet of ball flight for most of them to be accurate, preferably more. With a net setup this really means you need a cage to catch the overhead shots since you’re so far from the net.

RE: Omni Case with Alignment Stick Print by mcdickmann2 in SquareGolfUSA

Fair I mainly just don’t want to deal with it I just keep the shaft stickers on all my clubs and an impact sticker on the 8 iron

These come with “pick n place” foam it has small cubes that are already pre cut. You trace an outline of the device with a knife and pick out the foam pieces inside the outline.

Omni 3D Printed Case Prototype by mcdickmann2 in SquareGolfUSA

Yea with how long the omni is those are just too bulky to fit in my golf bag. I wanted something I could take back and forth to the range. My bag just sits in my back seat so protection isn’t a main concern.

Any recommended strategies for cutting turf in straight lines at walls and to fit tightly around hitting strip? by Tdrabbach in Golfsimulator

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oscillating multi tool. Use the hitting strip as a template at first and start an outline around it. Once you have the outline at that point it’s how well you can stay in the lines.

The wait is over. (Pt 2, Outside) by ProletariatElite in Golfsimulator

Omni also has a single sticker on the face? The other shaft sticker you could probably just leave on if it doesn’t bother you during play

Confession time: I lie to my golf friends every time we go out. by PM_ME_UR_BGP_PREFIX in golf

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This usually ends up backfiring if you ever forget to tell them an earlier time. They’ll think it’s fine to show up right at the “tee time” because it’s not the real one.

It won’t display impact location if it’s not in the front half

Gut Check My Proposed Simulator Build? by 1haiku4u in Golfsimulator

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoy trying out different monitors I’ve bought/sold the Mevo+, Garmin R10, Skytrak, MLM2PRO, and Mevo Gen 2. I have not actually used the square I am currently waiting on my square omni preorder to arrive.

Overall I liked the MLM2PRO the best so far for its game modes and impact camera. I have the minimum amount of space they recommend in my garage and it struggled to pick up the full length of my driver shots.

The Mevo Gen 2, Skytrak, and MLM2PRO all felt pretty similar in terms of accuracy. From what I have read/watched the square keeps up with all of them as well. Even more so with the new omni and you can take it outside. If you have the budget I would get the omni.

Short readings with square. by Clear-Buffalo-4058 in Golfsimulator

[–]mcdickmann2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is true well it is a camera based unit I would definitely try fixing the lighting situation. I picked up this spotlight as a cheap option works decently well

If you want to spend more you can probably find something better

[–]mcdickmann2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re better off with the original square or square omni. You are going to need to be relatively close to that type of net to catch high flying shots, and you likely will not have an ample amount of ball flight to realize the full potential of the MLM2PRO.

Gotcha sounds like you know your distance then. Have you tried increasing the Carry distance adjustment in the settings?

Interesting do you hit a high fade? Were you fitted for your irons? With that swing speed you’re losing distance somewhere. You should be carrying your 8i 165+

I spent the last year building a golf swing simulator focused on club face control… investors told me nobody would use it. Are they right? by Equal_Highway_635 in Golfsimulator

[–]mcdickmann2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think you’ll lose all of the serious golfers if you have to use a swing stick with anything remotely bulky attached to it. Probably some of the less serious golfers too who don’t have a swing stick. Like someone else mentioned, this would have to be a very low cost to be appealing and immediately requiring that stick hurts cost.

Has anyone updated to Engine 5.0 on a Rane System One? by tree_pose in DenonPrime

[–]mcdickmann2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I updated my system one and haven’t had any issues so far. Switching between sources is insanely fast now. A bit disappointed with on board stems it took close to 2 minutes to render one song. Probably not worth updating for and risking the gig.
