Not a bad price if you want wireless connectivity and/or a Tilt bridge. It’s different replace the usual G30 Bluetooth controller but rather bridges the connection to your WiFi it provides a standalone Tilt bridge to your WiFi to continuously upload data.

GCAST is a great piece of kit
No more faffing about with old iphones/Tilt Pi.

... No more faffing about with old iphones/Tilt Pi.

I'm not about to kick my Tilt Pi into touch. It churns out all those irreplaceable pretty graphs and displays.

But I've been troubled with G30 connectivity issues since the global fiasco with the Grainfather software (two or three years ago). So, I guess it won't be long before I give in to temptation and get one.

I'll probably be able to resurrect my warranty-replaced controller with the unreadable display with it too? Don't know what I'll then do with it though?

Err so does the GCAST

My G cast won't connect to my tilt , certainly nothing wrong with the tilt because it works with the tilt app .

Have you cleared out the configuration on the Tilt app before starting to set it up?

That's Tilt Pi output stitched together with The Google Sheets data it creates. But I'll figure it out, my "Gcast" turns up in an hour or two (guess I was sold on it anyway?).

I'd be surprised (and worried!) if that makes any difference? The Tilt is strictly "read-only" so the app's configuration should be independent of the Gcast (I barely use the phone app, preferring the Tilt Pi instead).

Did you pair the GCAST with your Grainfather controller first ?

Yes, not really surprised it doesn't work .Grainfather do seem to have a habit of releasing things with fault's .

Had absolutely no problems with mine or any Grainfather equipment i own
My G30 has been faultless for over 7 years now .
Maybe your GCAST is faulty.
