VX Bridge

VX Bridge forwards shot data from ProTee Labs to Infinite Tees or GSPro OpenAPI on the same Windows PC. Select one game from the icon near the clock. Labs controls the launch monitor; the game calculates ball flight.

Requirements

  • Windows x64.
  • An activated ProTee VX with ProTee Labs already working.
  • A licensed Infinite Tees or GSPro installation on the same PC.

For GSPro, use its public OpenAPI / APIv1 Connect application, not the native VX receiver. VX Bridge does not supply a game or replace an existing license.

Install

Open the latest release for release notes and downloads. Under Assets (expand it if needed), download the file whose name starts with vx-bridge-installer-windows-amd64- and ends in .exe. The version is in the filename. The .exe.sha256 file is a checksum; Source code downloads are for developers, not installation. Older releases without this EXE retain the files and instructions in their release notes.

  1. In ProTee Labs, select Game Options > Disconnect. Close any existing receiver through its own controls. Do not run two receivers or replace the vendor's GSPconnect.exe.
  2. Open the downloaded installer EXE as the Windows user who will use the bridge, not as administrator. Select Install. Everything Setup needs is inside this one file; there is no ZIP to extract or separate MSI to download.
  3. Leave Auto-launch on Windows Startup off unless the bridge should open when you sign in. It is off on a fresh install.
  4. Wait for Setup to report success. At Start the bridge now?, select Start bridge to open it once, or Not now to open VX Bridge from Start later. Starting it once does not enable auto-launch.

If Windows blocks Setup, stop and report the warning. Do not disable security protections or bypass the warning.

First use

  1. Open the game and enter a playable practice scene. For GSPro, also open OpenAPI / APIv1 Connect.
  2. Open VX Bridge from Start if it is not running. Find its icon near the Windows clock; check the hidden-icons arrow if necessary.
  3. Right-click the icon. Select Use Infinite Tees or Use GSPro OpenAPI. A checkmark shows the applied choice. The bridge remembers it for next time.
  4. Use ProTee Labs' normal Connect action if needed. The bridge does not open Labs or the game, or connect Labs for you.
  5. Check the bridge menu. Labs should be connected and the selected game should show Connected (transport only). Then check the game itself before swinging. A data connection does not establish that the game is ready.

For later sessions, open the game and bridge, check the selected game, then connect Labs. Wait for each shot's visible result before the next swing.

End a session

In ProTee Labs, select Game Options > Disconnect. Then select Quit in VX Bridge. Quit waits while Labs is attached. Do not force the bridge closed with Task Manager.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Action
No bridge icon Check hidden icons near the clock. Open VX Bridge from Start, not another downloaded copy.
No connection Run one receiver. Check the selected game and open it. For GSPro, open OpenAPI / APIv1 Connect too. See connection help.
Repair required Open VX Bridge Setup from Start and select Repair / Reinstall. If it fails, follow the recovery guide. Do not replace files manually.

Do not hit shots to trigger reconnection. If delivery is uncertain, check the game before swinging again: it may have received the shot.

Change games without changing the connection

Stop swinging and let the visible result finish. Select the other game and wait for switching to finish. Check that game before resuming.

Only the selected game receives shots. Opening a game does not select it. Standby (discard shots) keeps Labs connected but sends to neither game. Shots missed during switching, an outage or Standby are lost, not saved or replayed.

Documentation and contributions

Use the installation guide, everyday guide or FAQ for more detail. The technical manual covers implementation and testing. Use the reporting guide to report a bug or request a feature. An optional local diagnostic ZIP can be saved from the bridge menu or VX Bridge Diagnostics in Start, even when the host will not start. Nothing is uploaded automatically. Read Contributing before submitting a code change.

Original work uses the MIT license. Third-party notices cover dependencies and reference material, not a license to vendor software. VX Bridge is unofficial and is not endorsed by ProTee, Infinite Tees or GSPro.
