4 Datafield for Vivoactive HR

Former Member over 8 years ago

I would like to design the following for the Vivoactive HR. I am assuming I would use a datafield (would it be simple or complex ??)

Distance (km)
Steps per km (running total)
Steps per km (last km)
Cadence (steps per min)

I am able to use a Footpod.

I am new to Connect IQ .. so be patient.

I am ok with starting an activity .. though I would not keep it.

Wondering how I could capture that data from the device ??

I see I can use ActivityMonitor .. to get some of this data.

elapsedDistance for Distance km
Steps per Km .. not sure on this one. But I need a running total of steps for current km to be reset to zero for each km ran.

I am thinking that I can do this .. if I do about 182 steps/min cadence when running that is 3.03 per second. I know in Garmin Connect you can see the cadence in the file so I am sure that I can get the cadence from the device. So I would just keep a running total every second until it hits distance mod 1 and just retain that number and display it.

Steps per km (last km) .. would like to retain these numbers if I can on the device for future reference. Not sure if I can store this in a file on the device ? But I would like to retain them if I can.

Cadence .. not sure as it seems to reference RPM so seems it is for cycling ??

Here is a mock up of what I would like ..

I've not asked Stanislav, but I'm guessing he's using the difference in height between to top and bottom DF on the va-har to decide what data to display, and the same DF works for both, but if it's on top, displays two data points, and if it's the bottom, the other two.

That's actually something you can try in the sim (what's displayed is based on height) but on the watch, you have to just load the same DF for both top and bottom.

Load his DF on your watch and see how it works to understand what makes it work...

I have to do some more testing on this, almost there I think. It will be a while before I can work on it again as I am going on vacation for a few weeks. But I think great progress has been made today and I am deeply indebted to you for all your assistance.
