HR Monitor + training manager add-on

If Locus will support HR monitors (bluetooth / ant+) it would be nice to make some add-on for create workouts.Endomondo and other apps can only record and publish your result but it's not possible prepare some, for example basic interval training. Garmind Edge/ Forunner series could do that but when I heave Locus and Xperia Activ and Ant+ sensors I would like leave my Garmin on the shlef and use phone:)

Bad news, Ant+ doesn't actually work with new radio: at first it works, but after a few seconds ant manager get stuck showing the same data, turning off and on ant+ solves the issue, but after a few seconds it get stuck again. with old radio works fine.

Hello all,

but awesome was when the Data was possible to Export in a gpx Track with cadence and Heartbeat Data in to Bikexpierience, a offline Training Manager.

Then you can analyze all the Data.

Here a Link: http://bikexperience.de/doc/BxpUserGu...

http://translate.google.de/translate?...

Its possible to export in a format that was import in bikexpierience or in a another Software?

Best Regards
Hardliner

Hi to all,
I'm bringing mainly bad, but also a good news :)

Since new version 2.12.1 (just uploading to web), Locus lost ability to work with older Ant Radio Service. Version below 4.0 completely broke current Locus solution, so ANT+ support start to be unusable

New version 2.12.1 has now integrated new version of Ant Radio library. For this is needed new Ant Radio Service from Google Play.

Anyway, bad news is, that this new system do not support bike sensors. Here is current state http://www.thisisant.com/developer/an... - in section "Implemented Profiles" is visible that only HR and SPD sensors are currently supported. In next release should be also Bike sensors, but I tried to write them email, when new version will be available, but still no response.

So, I'm really sorry that this happen. I work on a solution, but unfortunately now it's not just on me. So please if you need to record ANT values, use temporarily another software. As soon as new version will be available, I'll immediately work on it.

And last ... in new version 2.12.1 should be already working solution for HR monitor. Unfortunately on my older Xperia X8, their library not work so I cannot test it. If anyone will have any experience, let me know. Thanks and sorry once more!

Hello

Newest version of Locus, newest ANT+ Service, ANT+ Plugins installed.
ANT+ Sensor (HRM) was found in Setup Menu, it shows heart rate, no value is shown in Dashboard. No automatic connect after start of recording, although it is activated in the setup.
So you have to implement a new interface and you do not have a device to test it, sorry thats ridiculous...

I think "ridiculous" is not best word

I have USB ANT+ stick so I test it with this. Seems you were correct and in 2.12.1 was small issue. In 2.12.2 (I had to release new version also due to some small other issue), HR should works correctly.

Only know issue for me is that Locus do not connect immediately to ANT device over USB. Seems to be a problem in library, not in Locus.

Maybe for that reason ip Bike use additional I sensor manager. Generally spd and cadence work in this program with latest Ant radio service.

Menion,
Could you check speed and cadence in latest Locus but with ip sensor man running? I use latest Ant radio with older Locus and now with ip Bike and spd/cad worked/works without problems.

@prolegs: My speed&cadence works fine. I remember that I was receiving this error message, when I was using task killer and I did not realize, that is killing ant+ service. So I suppose that you should check, if ant radio service 4.1 is running.

hr works at the same time, so the ant service 4.1, ant+ plugins launched. and the Thermometer, Stride Base Speed & Dist sensors can be switched on - searching process running, except bike sensors

Hello yojo afe

I have the same problem as prolegs.
Xperia neo with GSC10.
I deactivated the task killer, no change. still the error.
And the ANT+ service is running. Ant symbol is shown and Heart rate works also.
When switching the on button at S&C sensor it does not even "hold" on ON and switches back to OFF and the error occurs.

Suprisingly during testing of all that ant+ heart rate sensor stops working with rungps, whereas hrm is working with locus. strange.....

current version of ANT+plugins (10 may 2013) doesn't support bike sensors

Plugins for these ANT+ profiles are included:
-Heart Rate
-Stride Speed and Distance (footpod)
-Weight Scale
-Geocache
-Environment
-Audio, Video and Generic Controls

hmm this seems to be a problem

I though (incorrectly), that when developers released new ANT+ library, they also released new version of ANT+ Plugins!! And seems not :/

I've for testing new version directly from developers so I do not checked what is available on Google Play.

I'm sorry for confusing. So it's needed to wait till new ANT+ Plugins version appear on Google Play, sorry

it works, almost) but now i have to select the sensor id in ant+plugins window, set the name of this sensor and save. With HR no problems. But with Spd&Cad : database error, device not saved. It shows the value, but each time i enable the sensor, ant+plugins asks to select the sensor id, set the name and so on...., cause it wasn't saved

Whats about Bluetooth Smart, since android got an official api for it now? I would love to use the Polar H6 with Locus. Runtastic already has it implemented for android 4.3 devices.

Hi
I am using Locus instead of sports tracker for some time now and am very happy!! Locus offers so much more. It is great to color the recorded track with my heart rate (polar sensor), make my own dashboard, the possibility to follow a track and record at the same time, adjust the points of a track, see all your tracks at one map, use it for navigation, make POIs etc etc. Thanks for making it!

The only thing i miss is some more info on the heart rate: average, maximum. And the possibilty to make heart rate zones and color the track accordingly. Now it is colored realtively (great to see it change during ride!) but absolute colors is more useful for comparing different tracks.

Is it likely that you will add these features? would be great!
