BigFont Windsurf
· v2023-05-01
About
Sports: Windsurf and Kitesurf or other (Water-) sports.
Idea: show most important (8) values on ONE data field with 4 values in BigFont for easy reading under bad conditions (and for my old eyes).
WRITES TO FIT file, so you can see a graph minimal speed of each jibe an maximum speed between jibes on the Garmin Connect
Shows on Top:
- Time and ElapsedTime
In the Middle, there are two fields which can be defined via the settings dialog. (via the App on your mobile phone)
The values alternate between setting "1" and "2", so if you set them to the same value, only one value is shown in a field.
Possible values are:
- HeartRate: in bpm
- Max Speed 10s: is max of "Max Last Speed 10s" for the hole session. (in RED)
- Min Last Jibe Speed 1s: minimum of speed during last jibe.
- Max Last Speed 10s: maximal speed between two jibes. Where speed is taken as an average over10 seconds.
- Average Speed 10s: actual average speed over 10 seconds
Bottum:
- Current Speed
Shows at the very top,
- seconds since last lastJibe was detected.
becomes red after 20 seconds. (no jibe in between will be detected, to avoid errors)
Shows at buttom left:
- jibe count (in red)
Shows as vertical bar:
- battery in percent in GREEN, becomes BLUE when BlueTooth is connected.
Settings can be changed and the license number entered via the Garmin Connect Mobile or Garmin Express UI.
Here is how to do it: https://apps.garmin.com/settingsHelp.
It is a DataFiled, so you have to add it to one of your existing "Activity Applications". See also video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5HYBabeB2s .
License: The application runs for about 5 hours without any restriction, only the horizontal bars when stop are gray, with a license they are red.
For a fee of 5 EUR, you get the unlimited time version. Then the horizontal bars when stopped change to red. (need a restart of the App).
Then the license dialog will be removed and writing to FIT is unlimited.
Please test the DataField before making the payment at https://paypal.me/Seli17/5EUR , then send me the ID displayed ON the watch, the type of watch and your country.
It is a manual process, but I reply as soon as possible (less than 24 hours). Thank you very much.
What's new
2023-05-01: SDK 4.2.4 added Fenix 7& 7X and Forerunner255
2021-04-18: Crashed always when starting Windsurf. (array was not initialised on poor GPS Quality)
2020-10-25: previous change saved values also for next usage
2020-10-05: Save intermediate also JibeCount
2020-10-01: Save intermediate values when 'Resume Later'. (PlanningInPercent, JibesPlanned and MaxSpeed). As this uses more memory, I had to remove Distance-FitField.
2020-04-25: For Fenix 6 and Vivoactive4
2019-05-24: FIT Graphique of "Jibes Planed". (instead of ElapsedTime, which was only for debugging)
2019-05-22: crash because of not initialized variable
2019-05-05: change color of horizontal lines (bug)
2019-04-28: Lower line in yellow if GPS not available. Changed implementation of "count planing jibes". (will it be better?)
2018-12-17: Bugs: no Speed when use Knots. JibeCount always 0 in FIT
Larger horizontal lines. (better readable)
2018-11-10: New License Code. (avoid Null)
2018-11-10: cleanup some software (like Mounaineering)
2018-11-08: added correct labels for speed in FIT, shows knots or kmh.
2018-10-27: add planing in % in FIT (not really tested)
2018-10-26: Jibes planned and total jibes in FIT-files. Knots option added. (not really tested)
2018-08-20: Battery becomes BLUE, when BlueTooth is connected.
2018-08-10: Jibe count is now OK, but one MaxLapSpeed was 127km/h. Corrected bug therefore and write distance and seconds in FIT-File instead of Heading and PrevHeading...for debuging only.
2018-07-28: Improved Jibe detect. (had a bug).
So minJibeSpeed should be (more) correct
