Rowing App for Waterrower

darkmephisto
over 5 years ago

I think that a lot of people are serching for a witged / datafield / app to record her training on garmin connect.

This was not possible because the Rower had no bluetooth module. But now there is such a module and it would be a phantastic thing if there would be a IQ App to record the rowing activity on the Watch. I think this could be a good Idea for a developer to make such app to get some money because there is nothing in this direction on the market.

What do you think?

    I thought I had the same problem, the deal is there is a "timeout" on the screen. click the 4 way stick and it should light up.

    Didn‘t help, stays black. is there a way to check the display if it works correctly? Maybe it’s defect

    Hey,

    your display is set to 4 wire SPI which is the correct mode !
    So let's see if we can get it working without PiRowFlo. The basic is to test with the following examples:

    https://github.com/rm-hull/luma.examples

    Luma is the library used by PiRowFlo. So follow the instruction to install the library and then you can go into the example folder and try.

    in order to start an example do the following :

    python3 demo.py -d sh1106 -i spi

    I explain the command:

    python3    : is python version 3
    demo.py     : is the test script from the example folder you wanna try
    -d sh1106 : is the display type with the driver sh1106
    -i spi         : is the connection typ in this case spi.

    If demo.py is not working we might know something is wrong.

    What you also can do is to check with raspi-config has spi activate ?

    SPI in Config is activated, i followed the steps and this came out but the display didn´t light up Pensive

    Hey,

    To recap:
    - The screen didn't came up with autosetup with PiRowFlo ==> it should work as a lot of people confirmed it works out of the box.
    - The screen didn't came up even with the demo script.

    Mh that doesn't sound good at all. If I were you, I would ask for a new one as this one seems to be dead.

    But please confirm fist you are using:

    - a Raspbery pi Zero
    - a clean Raspbian only intended to be used for PiRowFlo

    I just want to ensure that we didn't forgot any details. But as I said, it should work out of the box if you clone from the PiRowFlo repo and install it.

    Best Regards

    so new display is here, installed on the Raspberry Zero, reinstalled PiRowFlo but it also doesn´t work...

    what else could it be?

  • over 3 years ago in reply to Hitch88

    Hey,

    To recap:
    - The screen 1 didn't came up with autosetup with PiRowFlo ==> it should work as a lot of people confirmed it works out of the box.
    - The screen 1 didn't came up even with the demo script.

    - The screen 2 didn't came up with autosetup with PiRowFlo ==> it should work as a lot of people confirmed it works out of the box.
    - The screen 2 didn't came up even with the demo script.

    So what are the chance that you got 2 faulty one are very low, have you tested another pi ?

    Best Regards,

    sorry for the delayed response
