Re: eCoach
 

Hmm, e-coach does not seem to automatically save your data when the phone needs to shutdown because of low battery. :-( Too bad. I did a 90 km bicycle tour and it didn't get saved when my phone shut down. Any idea if e-coach saves to a temporary file?

x2.. Quite frustrating when it shuts down at the end of a long ride. Isn't there any way it could save the already gathered data before the n900 shuts down?

Re: eCoach
 

I'd like that eCoach would have a mode where it would not use GPS or track the location at all - ie. only record the heart rate / time consumed. Could this be done?

Thanks for the polar.patch! Haven't done any real training with this yet, just a five-minute test to check that it works. :) Sorry for the delay in replying BTW, I've been out of the country on vacation.

My Polar sends 0xd1 as the key instead of 0xf1 so I had to add a switch case. Otherwise it works just fine.

Hi all,

I am new in the community. I am using eCoach (N900) since a few weeks. It's really great. However, I bought the Polar bluetooth device and now I found, that this device isn't supported yet.

Question: Is there a plan to support the device in the future? If yes, what can I do, so that the device is supported?

Thx and have a nice day.

The two posts above mention there is a patch for the Polar BT HRM so I suggest you read the whole thread :)

Re: eCoach
 

I'm attaching my own version of eCoach with the Polar patch and double switch-case. The fact that I had to add another key shows that we don't understand the protocol yet.

It may or may not work for you. If it doesn't (i.e. it recognizes the Polar but gives a bpm of 0), it would be useful if you could connect the Polar to a computer and post the data dump

Good luck,

Re: eCoach
 

Two points:

1. Thx for this app.
2. If pausing a record, the time you paused is added to the activity time. So if you for example run 30 minutes, pause 30 minutes, run 30 minutes you will get a time 1:30 hours, and as example 6km the activity will show running speed 4km/h because it calculates with 1:30 h and not the actual 1:00 that you really did run.

Re: eCoach
 

It seems the heiaheia API changed slightly so that eCoach reports don't contain the distance any more when uploading.

Re: eCoach
 

Yesterday we extended API to accept parameters in miles as well as in kilometers, but unfortunately a bug crawled in and distance values from eCoach was discarded. The problem was fixed and fix deployed today.

Sorry for all the trouble.
