About

This DataField provides the missing connectivity support for the Ant+ FE rowers. Now you can connect, display and record the data like [distance] [speed] [power] [spm] [calorie] [time] ... from your equipment to your watch. *What's this for: It's a shame that the native support for Ant+ FE is still missing on all the watches, if you are using a rower/elliptical/treadmill with Ant+ support, even if the equipment itself has a quite accurate data of the power, distance, time and speed, you cannot use them, you just can't get the data into your watch. For myself, I'd like to have the head unit reported distance, speed, and power data recorded every time, so I can keep track of my training, knowing how much progress I have made, how much distance I have rowed, that's a really important thing for people like me. There's another well established App ErgIQ for the same thing, but unfortunately it only supports specific models from Concept2, which is not my rower. So I have to do it myself. That's how this thing came up. * How to use: This is a single-page data field, so after download this DataField, find a page in your activity, set the layout to 1-field, and add this field to the field. Launch the activity, this DataField will automatically search the devices nearby and connect to it. Once connected, the top will display "Rower", indicates that you are connected, you are good to go. By default, it will display [distance], [power], [500m pace], [total time] in the 4 big fields in the center, and [status of equipment], [kCal/hr], [spm], [HR] in the 4 small fields in the corner. The data will be recorded automatically into custom Connect IQ developer fields, you can find these data in Connect IQ. * A note on data recording: Different devices may report different fields, for example some may have the "Power" data some may not. So the connect IQ fields to record these data are created "on demand", if a field is available, the connect IQ field will be created.
