We take notes during long-term nature walks and camping trips. For example, in area 1, contact this person. In area 3, the radio frequency changed to xxx, etc. For instance, if we delete areas 1 and 2 while in area 3, screen usage will be more efficient. These are some examples of our usage.

I am currently developing an app called Checkpoints

Idea:
Create up to 3 time checkpoints which will be shown during your activity

How to use the app
In the settings of the app up to 3 time checkpoints can be defined.
Each checkpoint consists of.a title and a time.
When starting the activity and Checkpoints is selected as a SuuntoPlus App, the checkpoints appear in their timely order with an indication how much time is left.
Once the time of a checkpoint is reached, the next checkpoint is displayed automatically.
One can navigate through all checkpoints with the Up and Down button.

@Jan-Krejčí Thank you! I applied for the Partners Program, can’t wait for the response to get a chance to publish it

I’m encountering this situation today. The notes aren’t arriving.

surfboomerang

@safari does the note show if you try a different text size by holding the up- or down button?

safari

@surfboomerang
The keys weren’t responding. Here’s how I solved it:
I canceled the exercise (I had just started it anyway).
I resynchronized the phone and started the exercise again. It’s fixed now.

@safari Please let me know if you encounter other issues

I am not really good at coding, but my idea would be to program an S+ for the Woo kite sensor.
Maybe it’s possible to show the jump data right on the watch?
How can do this?

@Egika I don’t know anything about the Woo kite sensor, but I guess you would want to connect to it using BLE. You would need specification of their BLE data format to write an app for it, at least I couldn’t find any documentation for it.

Egika

@Raimo-Järvi thank you, Raimo!

I’ll check with them. Let’s see.

Hello all, I’m currently mostly vibe coding an app because my programming skills are too low for what I want. I am type 1 diabetic since recently so been looking for a way to track blood sugar without having to constantly look at my phone. Was finally able to get it somewhat working so that the values are being received correctly, just needs some polishing to make it all look a bit better.

Raimo Järvi

@aenzed Sounds interesting! Are you receiving blood glucose values from a sensor, or how does it work?

aenzed

@Raimo-Järvi A rather convoluted setup where glucose sensor values are sent to a open source cloud app (Nightscout) for logging. Data is then retrieved from Nightscout API in a self built BLE bridge app which then sends the data to the watch. Internet access is unfortunately required, but for most things that’s not a problem.

brechtvb

@aenzed so your Suunto watch connects back to the phone using this BLE connection method with uuids and byte blob reading?

aenzed

@brechtvb Yep, UUID is set in the BLE bridge app and SuuntoPlus app explicitly The docs have a very nice walkthrough of BLE device connection, although it still took me awhile to get everything working.

brechtvb

@aenzed do you mean the suunto manual? It also states max 2 devices, is that 2 devices per custom suunto plus app?

aenzed

@brechtvb Yes, the manual/reference sheet in the VS code simulator. I don’t think I can answer that 100% correctly, but from the reference sheet I would say that it is max 2 devices per watch and not per app as they specifically mention watch firmware.

brechtvb

@aenzed okay thank you for your input.

This weekend i’m starting on reading a garmin sensor, should not be too hard.

But this limit of 2 sensors is really wild. If one cycles with:

speed
cadance
power
heart rate

sensor, we are 2 times in the blue. Suunto should really up this number, with just a note/popup that power consumption will go up because of the number of connected devices. That is totally acceptable.

Suunto users understand as well that GPS can be configured less precise for less power consumption.

Someone developed it. I assumed that you are aware.

For the sailors among us…
I’m developing an app for the calculation of Velocity Made on Course (VMC).

First of all, the simulator totally ignores the nautical distance format. The watch does format it well so it’s not a big deal.

The second issue is that I don’t see any option to get the bearing and/or coordinates of a selected POI. Only the distance is available. This makes the VMC calculation very inaccurate since the distance is measured in meters only.

The preferred way would be to calculate the VMC with the speed and angle

speed * Math.cos(heading - bearing);

All of the values are known, except the bearing to the POI. Is there any way to get this information?
