About
No Support via review system. For questions, please use button "App Support". I'm a private developer and I'm sharing apps/datafiels/widget I developed for my own usage - for free (!!!) to the community. My rewards are if you are happy with my apps/datafiels/widgets and leaving a five star review. If you are not happy or if there are issues, please contact me via "App Support".
The Concept2 is a popular rowing machine with ANT interface. AK Rowing is another app to
- get data from Concept2 PM5
- combine with Garmin data (like HR)
- present on Garmin screen
- forward to Garmin Connect
!!!!!!!!! Important: You must not have paired PM5 with Garmin device, because if paired it's claimed by Germin and no app has access to PM5.
!!!!!!!!! Keep in mind: Because of Garmin restrictions, it is not possible to forward distance data to native field in Garmin connect (native value is zero). As a workaround, distance is an own IQ value in the bottom. On the other side, because of this it is possible to show speed values like you configured in AK Concept2 Rowing (m/s, min/500m, min/1000m, ....)
Should also work on other rowers with ANT+ interface, but not tested.
The datafield version is available here (features limited, but can be fully integrated)
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/9a0508b9-0256-4639-88b3-a2690a14ddf9
Version for Edge devices is available here (much more features because of bigger display)
https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/826c1470-7778-4f64-948a-32d8d7119f76
Simply connect Concept2 PM5 with Garmin via ANT (no pairing anyhow, is done by AK Concept2), start AK Rowing and start workout. AK Rowing will start and stop automatically. To stop and upload your workout to Garmin Connect, use the 'back' button and follow the dialogue. In setting menu (menu key) there are some setting options.
In case of any bug or for feature requests, please contact me via the 'contact developer' button. Thanks
Following data are shown on the device:
1st line: HR and speed (in km/h)
2nd line: distance and elapsed time
3rd line: total number of strokes and total calories
4rd line left: cadence, calories or chart (power or speed or cadence), can be configured in settings menu
4rd line richt: power or burn rate, can be configured in settings menu
If you need to see different data, please contact me via the 'contact developer' button. Thanks.
App should also work linked to different rowers, but not tested.
