Path for FIT file

Former Member over 9 years ago

Hi guys,

I need your help and advice.

I have been running through the examples in the Connect IQ SDK. In one of the examples - RecordSample, data acquired is being saved to a FIT file. From the following website:

http://developer.garmin.com/downloads/connect-iq/monkey-c/doc/Toybox/ActivityRecording/Session.html#save-instance_method

The '<session>.save()' method returns a boolean, which indicates whether the operation is successful or not, and I checked that it return true. However, I wasn't able to find the the fit file.

My questions are where this FIT file might be, and how one could specify a custom path for it.

Thanks very much in advance!

At this point in time. Custom values won't be saved into a fit file. Only whatever that garmin provides. Eg: if you do a custom calculated value - it domt be saved.

The fit file described is the native garmin fit file with the usual garmin values.

Today, the simulator doesn't actually save the .fit file when you record one.

On a real device, it's written to \garmin\activities and the name is <8 char value>.fit and you have no ability to change that.

Good afternoon, all . Is it still the actual situation where we can't save custom fields into a FIT file?

I would like to understand if I can save information about the bike tyre pressure coming from a sensor within the FIT file.

You can save a fit with your custom data, and then use it with monkeygraph to see your data. See this screen (save fit data)

The sim's temp directory also mirrors what devices look like, so you'll find the fit under garmin\activity. I think the above screen just allows you to set a path and copy what's in garmin\activity where you want.
