FDF Console recorder
Record rowing sessions from First Degree Fitness water rowers and generate TCX files.
Tested with First Degree Fitness NEON plus water rower which comes with the (basic) FDF Console and a serial interface.
Usage
1. Record session
Connect the FDF console via USB and record a session by running:
recorder.py --port /dev/ttyS0
This will generate a TXT file with a timestamp, e.g.: 1670609153225.txt. Stop recording with Ctrl-C.
2. Export session to TCX
Convert the recording to TCX by running:
./export.py 1671385156654.txt 1670609153225.tcx
In order to load heart rate info from an external source, e.g. FIT file:
./export.py --fit-input 1670609153225_watch.fit 1670609153225.txt 1670609153225.tcx
In order to load heart rate info from a TCX file:
./export.py --tcx-input 1670609153225_watch.tcx 1670609153225.txt 1670609153225.tcx
Notes
- there is no support yet to read HR info from FDF console directly (requires additional hardware)
- BPM information from exteral files (TCX and FIT) are interpolated
