Running power

hundsmiachn

Hi

Could anybody tell me how to get the running power value ? I tried info.currentpower, but that one is for biking only I think.

regards

Erich

  • it's also for running power but only for pods like the one from stryd.

    the running power by garmin is a calculation that is not exposed to connect iq developers.

    Damn, I thought it is available )-:

    Thanks Peter for the fast help!

    regards

    The interesting thing here is the Garmin Run Power DFs are actually written in CIQ, but as Peter said, they don't publish what the formulas are.

    Hello, I try to get power values from the Stryd sensor (latest Version 3). I already tried Activity.info.currentPower as well as Activity.info.currentCadence. But it seems there is no valid data. Also I tried to go the Ant+ route, created an AntPlus.RunningDynamicsListener() and AntPlus.RunningDynamics() object, but with the same result. getRunningDynamics() only returns null. Anyone can tell me how to get power data for a custom connectiq datafield? I had Stryd Zones datafield active as well as Stryd Power data field running in parallel, as well as I tried letting my datafield alone without any other third party connect iq datafield. Simply I don't see any data from the run sensor even it is detected by the watch any time I start the runnning app. What am I missing?

    Thank you in advance! Stefan.

    Running Dynamics is a Garmin only thing and only available  with the RD pod or the HRM-Tri is my understanding.

    Garmin's running power DF only works with those same device.  Styrd does things in a different way, and you may have to do your own ANT code to get it.

    Hello and thank you for the answer. Actually it is working now! The Stryd Sensor must be bound as (bike?) power meter in the Fenix 5. Then you can read watts from Activity.info.currentPower. At first I thought this is not possiible. But the thing is, the watch will only recognize the sensor as power meter while you're running/walking. When standing still, searching for new Ant sensors will fail.

    Many sensors will go to sleep after a few minutes if you're not moving (to save the battery).  With a foot pod. RD pod or external HRM, you want to wear them and move around before trying to pair for this reason (to make sure they are awake).  The only one I've seen where this isn't needed is the Tempe as it transmits 24/7.

    So it sounds like with the Stryd, it was asleep when you tried to access it standing still but woke up when you started to run/walk.
