(Bug Fixes) MLM2PRO OCR:
- Connector will now work for both Range camera modes, but we still recommend you set it to 'Stationary' for best results.
- Additional validation check for club & ball speed using smash factor, will auto correct if required.
- In an attempt to reduce ghost shots the connector will ignore shots made within a shot space of time.
- To improve the quality of the extracted images are now converted to grey scale before removing the background this produces cleaner images for OCR.
- 'Pause' button added that will pause the connector, on restart it will not resend the last shot.
- Fix OCR issue caused by negative number when calculating white space around image.
- Empty values from an OCR was not being flagged as error.
I can't say enough about the contribution both Ben & Joe make to this community, they spend hours creating content and helping people out with little to no rewards. So please consider subscribing and supporting their YouTube channels.
