If nobody is really at the helm then I may be willing to take over maintainership (although realistically how much maintenance can be done is to be determined). Any help is appreciated.
If you have changed the thing to use PRE-LOADED ovi-maps then you have my vote! This is VERY relevant to my interests!

Second of all, let me give you feedback from dedicated mountain biker point of view and add my voice to previous feedbacks:
1. Audible signal when reaching at least max HR (ideally - when reaching aerobic/anaerobic/max HR) Not important feature: ability to use your own recorded ogg/mp3 files for that.
2. Calorie Calculator
3. Autopause(with ability to turn it off)

HeiaHeia guys, I know you monitor this thread too: thanks for the service! Do you plan to implement HR and speed graph on your website? I can see it in ecoach but heiaheia only displays average and max HR and map only, no graphs. And some additional logs other than weight log would be nice: like resting HR, blood pressure, waistline to monitor changes in the fitness.

Coupon code "endomondo" will shave $5 off your Zephyr price. Not much, but at least something)


I totally agree with all the points here (calories counter, heiaheia, audible signal)

No I didn't, the timestamps for HR and GPS do not align and can often be irregular so I was unable to figure out an easy way in the small amount of time I allocated to it.

Hopefully the devs porting it to Meego expand the upload sites, I found Heia Heia a little basic.

How far is the QT version of eCoach?
Would it be possible to a have a plugin model for several features?
  • upload portal
  • map sources
  • heart rate provider

Hello! Thanks for your eCoach patch.
I am having trouble making it work. 1.64 worked till 2 days ago, sometimes I had to pair heart monitor but it was working--now, nada. I have uninstalled 1.64 e installed your but still, eCoach recognizes it but nothing happens when I run eCoach. Screen shows Wait... forever!! Any tips? So far I am updating N900's firmware. I have backed up my files and was trying to learn how to flash and restore factory settings--but I am afraid of doing it. Mostly considering that in Brazil there are little (if any) support for N900. I bought mine in the US. Thanks in advance for any help!
Cheers from Rio!

Anyway, basically you're just translating the protocol spec from English into C or C++. The same details are visible in the source code. If the company considers the protocol a trade secret you can't share the source code. Or that's how I understand it (IANAL).
Generally chipset specs are given under the NDA in condition developer can wrote open source driver. It means you are not allowed to publish specs, just keep those as your own info.

Usually it goes something like that;
1) get initial ACK that it is OK to wrote open driver using specs/SDK
2) wrote an NDA in order to get that info
3) make driver
4) review that driver and get ACK to release driver from vendor
5) release driver

If running with heartrate monitor (i use the patched version from mvonweiss) sometimes it seems that heartrate monitor disconnects, or at least wont get saved (happened twice only, from 20 times, so no big deal). The problem is, that ecoach then only calculates the time where heartrate data is available, but should take the time where gps data is available, as the distance is taken from the gps.

As example, if running 1 hour, 10 km, but heartrate monitor disconnects after 30 minutes, eCoach says you ran 30 minutes average speed 20km/h.
It would be best if ecoach adds a dummy heartrate value, as heiaheia has the same problem, and this way it could be prevented.
Now, if i see this, i manually add a dummy value for the heartrate with the latest time from gps.
Hi there,
I have used 1,64 v without much trouble for about 3 weeks but now nothing works. I have tried 1.66 v too and nothing. Sometimes not even recognizes Polar belt.
Any ideas?
I thought about restoring mobile to it original settings but it seems very complicated and dangerous. Maybe I could just clean all eCoach files, but I don't really know how to access it.
Is there any quick guide available on how this OS works? I am pretty good with Windows and have a little bit knowledge of programming logic. I can do this, just want to be sure I will not damage the device.
Thanks!
Cheers from Rio,
Neila

Hi Martin, just to inform other users, as it seems there is no solution, This 1.66 patch does not work on my N900.

Please, if anyone has the solution for this.. let us know.
In Brazil is not easy to return things to the US.

Thanks!

Hi

http://ecoachmeego.blogspot.com/

Some info about Qt eCoach


I am no longer actively maintaining or developing eCoach for N900... I now concentrate on Harmattan only.

Hi Neiloca, unfortunately I don't think I can help you. I am not an active developer, merely another eCoach user. I've only applied and modified a patch by Antti so that it worked with my Polar belt and then recompiled and released .debs for 1.64 and 1.66. The latest .deb works fine on my N900 with the community SSU release.

Do you have problems starting eCoach, or problems connecting to the Polar heart rate belt?

--Martin
