Generate tcx files from Kettler ergometer

kettler-tcx

Generate tcx files from Kettler ergometer

#Status Alpha. Basic functionality is implemented, no user interface or commandline options, some features missing.

#Installation Nothing fancy. Download in some folder...

#Usage Connect Kettler Ergometer with usb or serial port. Set serial port in source code, if necessary. Defaults to '/dev/ttyUSB0'.

Start record.py. The script resets the ergometer and waits for activity (timer on ergometer starts running). The script records until activity stops (timer on ergometer does not change for 5 seconds). Afterwards the workout is saved to workout.tcx (will be changed later)

kettler-tcx's Issues

Implement commandline options

e.g. for serial port, filename, recording intervall

Questions on behaviour with on Ergometer started programs?

Are you still using your solution?
I'm using your python with little modifications (logging to mysql) for simple recording my adhoc sessions. Start record.py, go on ergometer, start cycling, use the ergometer button to increase/decrease power, stop cycling, recory.py stops.
Working very well :-)

Questions:
Is it possible to use your record.py to record/logging also when I use the kettler programs on the ergometer itself?
And how to do it, because the record.py first resets the device?
Do I have to start the program after record.py is started?
[is it related to: https://github.com//issues/1]??
Update: is working, start record.py and then select program and start ... :)

And do you thing it would be possible/complicated to also define an own program outside of the ergometer e.g. an xml or json, then record.py uses this program to control the kettler device and also logs the session like before?

Internal calculation of max and avg values

Average calculation between ergometer and endomondo differs since the ergometer takes only relevant data points (i.e. with values) into account. Endomondo uses all data points. Especially for heart rate=0 not usefull.
Question: Does endomondo use the avg values in the tcx files?

automatic endomondo import

New script to automatically import the workout in endomondo.

Workout name in endomondo import

When importing the tcx file in endomondo, the workout name is empty. Is there a tag to set the name?

Set meaningfull tcx filename or make in configurable

Speed in endomondo does not work

Recorder starts when program on ergometer is selected

When a program gets selected on the ergometer, the time in the status response is equal to the program time. This is >0 and triggers the recording.
In addition one can assume (not tested yet) that the time counts down to zero, this is not handled in the recording script.
