You can plug a USB mouse into a TSC7

Now we just need one of those DARPA robotic pack dogs to haul equipment into the brush and lay waste to areas in the vicinity of a monument before taking shots from the TSC7 hot tub mount in an Alta condo.

Interesting, I’ll have to give it a try with the ole fc6000. Might be a little easier importing and exporting points instead of using the touch screen.

As I understand it the FC6000 is windows based, so it should work.

Whether Magnet recognises the mouse is a different question - Access does.

Give it a try and let us know

Now we need a mouse pad and bracket connected to the rod. Wonder if my wireless mouse would work. This would be handy when sitting in the truck doing some comps and such. Is there a way that i can remote in from the office to my crews to show them cogo tips and such. I remember when i had something for tsce and tsc2 i used for trouble shooting many years ago.

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse I use with the RT3 tablet.  I clamp the RAM mount to the steering wheel, hold the keyboard on my lap, and run the mouse around on the center console.  Got Carlson Survey on the tablet, as well as SurvPC.  Saved quite a few return trips to jobs with that setup.

Trimble already has 'em, I believe they've been working with Boston Dynamics for at least 3-4 years. I think there were about half a dozen running around Dimensions this past November, carrying laser scanners, etc.

Sure can. There are plenty of options - TeamViewer is one - the local dealer here puts it on all the controllers they sell. They like TeamViewer because it works on Android as well as windows.

Or you could use Windows' Remote desktop, but it is not so easy to configure or connect

@olemanriver

We use Zoho Assist to remotely access our controllers for troubleshooting. Works pretty well for us, I can take control of their DC if/when I need to.

I've used Teamviewer without any previous experience. Very easy to use.

@sergeant-schultz Occasionally, I’ll take my laptop to the field with me but I bet that’s even handier. Wonder if anyone makes a DC that will draw contours? That could be handy every now and then to check the grading in the field.

Please note: I have not tried this yet, but...

The TSC7 is a grunty wee computer. Good enough, I think, to run TBC
