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 Concept2 Rowing Edge is another app adjusted to Edge devices to - get data from Concept2 PM5 - combine with Garmin data (like HR if not sent by Concept2) - present on Garmin screen - forward to Garmin Connect But it's much more. In the bottom of the screen you can start - several charts or - virtual partner or - interval training - tunnel game In case of app is not identifying Concept2 rower, please start Concept2 first, afterwards start app. !!!!!!!!! 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. The datafield version is available here: https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/9a0508b9-0256-4639-88b3-a2690a14ddf9 Version for other Garmin devices can be found here: https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/74afbe31-c6c4-47ee-8776-3b9778cb676b If you need a mount for Garmin Edge to Concept2 rower (PM5), check following link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4110275 Simply link Concept2 PM5 with Garmin via ANT, 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. This is a first version. In case of any bug, 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: cadence and power or burn rate (can be configured in settings menu) Interval training is defined in a kind of meta language. Example: HT+(1,10)+8x((4,20)(2,15))+(2,10) means: - P = Power target training (Other are planned) - T = intervals are defined in time periods (other are planned) - (1,10) = interval definition 10 seconds in powerzone 1 (e.g. for warm up or cool down) - 8x((4,20)(2,15)) = 8 iterations of 20 seconds power zone 4 with pause of 15 seconds in zone 2 Power zones are defined in 10 steps between 1/3 * max power and map power. Profile can be entered in Edge device, but I warmly recomment to use Garmin Connect. If you need to see different data, please contact me via the 'contact developer' button. Thanks.
