The Foresight Sports GCHawk is a quadrascopic camera-based overhead Launch Monitor system by Foresight Sports that captures club and ball data for indoor use. It features multiple connectivity methods including Ethernet, USB-C, and Wi-Fi.

Wi-Fi Direct Connection - iOS/iPadOS, MacOS & Windows (PC)

The Wi-Fi Direct connection method details the method of connecting your device directly to the Wi-Fi network broadcast by the Foresight Sports GCHawk Launch Monitor so that it can be used with Awesome Golf Simulator. This connection method requires a secondary Internet connection such that you can establish connectivity to both the Internet and Launch Monitor at once.

An Internet connection is required to use Awesome Golf Simulator. When using an iPhone or iPad (cellular) this Internet connectivity can be provided by the cellular (4G/5G) connection. On MacOS or Windows, this connectivity can be provided by using an ethernet cable for connectivity or adding a USB Wi-Fi adapter, such as the TP-Link T3U Nano USB Wi-Fi Adapter. It may also be possible to use a secondary Internet connection using Bluetooth from another device with an Internet connection.

  1. If your Foresight Sports GCHawk is off, press the remote control's power button and wait for the LED indicator to change from yellow to blinking blue, when the GCHawk is ready for tracking.
  2. On your primary device, go to your device's Wi-Fi settings and search for the Wi-Fi network named after your device (for example GCH-__). Select this network and enter the password FSSPORTS to connect.
  3. On your primary device, use your secondary Internet connection to connect to your preferred Wi-Fi network, hotspot, or cellular data.
  4. Open Awesome Golf Simulator on your primary device, select Foresight from the Launch Monitor connection screen, then select the Foresight Sports GCHawk when it appears in the list of discovered devices.

  2. USB-C: Connect a USB-C data cable between the Launch Monitor and Primary Device.

    Ethernet using a Router or Network Switch: Connect an Ethernet (RJ45) cable between the Launch Monitor and LAN port on your Router or Network switch. Your primary device will also need to be connected to this network - using Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

    Ethernet Direct Connection: Connect an Ethernet (RJ45) cable between the Launch Monitor and an Ethernet port on your Primary Device. Using this method of connection may require you to use a secondary connection to the Internet to maintain Internet connectivity. If your device has multiple Ethernet ports, you may be able to connect one port to a source of Internet connectivity and the other to the Launch Monitor - alternatively, Wi-Fi or Hotspot connectivity may be used for Internet access.
