Ready to pair your SkyTrak with the incredible graphics and courses of E6 Connect? You've come to the right place. While the prospect of playing world-famous courses from your own home is exciting, the technical setup process can sometimes feel like a daunting step. This guide provides a clear, step-by-step path to successfully link your SkyTrak launch monitor with E6 Connect software, covering both PC and iOS setups and troubleshooting the most common bumps you might encounter along the way.
Before we get into the setup process, let's make sure you have all the necessary components ready. A little preparation here will save you a lot of time later. Think of this as checking your bag before a round - you wouldn’t want to get to the first tee and realize you forgot your putter.
Your SkyTrak can communicate with your computer or tablet in two different ways. Understanding the difference is important for choosing the best and most stable setup.
In Direct Mode, the SkyTrak creates its own Wi-Fi network. Your PC or iPad then connects directly to that network. Think of it as a private conversation between your device and the launch monitor.
Pros: Simple to set up, doesn't require an existing Wi-Fi network.
Cons: While connected to the SkyTrak's network, your device will lose its connection to the internet. This prevents E6 Connect from authenticating your license and accessing online features. For this reason, Direct Mode is not recommended for playing E6 Connect.
In Network Mode, you connect the SkyTrak unit to your home Wi-Fi network, just like your computer, phone, or smart TV. Your device (PC or iPad) and the SkyTrak are then both on the same network, allowing them to communicate with each other while also maintaining a connection to the internet.
Pros: Stable connection, enables all of E6 Connect’s online features, and allows your device to stay connected to the internet.
Cons: Requires an initial setup to connect the SkyTrak to your home Wi-Fi.
For E6 Connect, you should always use Network Mode. This will ensure your license can be validated online and you have access to all your courses and game modes.
This is the most popular setup, offering the best graphical performance. Follow these steps methodically for a smooth launch.
First, turn on your SkyTrak. We need to get it connected to your computer. The most stable way for a PC is to use the included micro-USB cable. Simply plug one end into the SkyTrak and the other into a USB port on your PC.
If you prefer to go wireless, you'll need to configure Network Mode. To do this, connect your PC to the SkyTrak in Direct Mode first, open the SkyTrak PC App, go to the network settings, and follow the prompts to connect the unit to your home Wi-Fi network.
Before even opening E6, it's a good practice to confirm the connection is working.
Now it's time for the main event.
Head back to the main E6 menu, choose a practice range or a course, and hit your first shot. The system will now be looking for data from your SkyTrak after every swing.
The process for iOS is similar but relies entirely on a Network Mode connection.
USB connection isn't an option for iOS, so Network Mode is your only path. The easiest way to configure this is by using the official SkyTrak app.
Sometimes things don't go as planned. Here are some of the most common issues and how to solve them so you can get back to your game.
