I have a Vivoactive 3 watch using the Connect IQ MoxyField. The MoxyField is added to the Run activity data screen 2. When I start a Run activity, the data field never shows Moxy data but shows “Searching…” text. I discovered a workaround to establish connection with the Moxy sensor which is inconvenient.
This does not work:
- Select the Run activity
- Press start/stop to start the run activity
- Navigate to screen 2
- Screen 2 shows “MO2 Data Searching…”
The work around:
- Select the Run activity
- Select “Settings|Data screens|Screen 2|Edit Data Fields”
- Press start/stop button to return to the Run activity.
- Press start/stop to start the run activity
- Navigate to screen 2
- Screen 2 shows live MO2 data
Device: Vivoactive 3
Software version: 8.20
DataField: MoxyField
MoxyField was built using:
- Connect IQ SDK: 4.0.10, MO2 data shows in simulator
- Connect IQ SDK: 4.1.6, MO2 data does not show in simulator (Searching…)
- OS: Windows 10
- Editor: Visual Studio Code
MoxyField was built using the Connect IQ project located in the Connect IQ SDK samples folder. The compiled data field “MoxyField.prg” was sideloaded to the “Garmin/Apps” folder on the Vivoactive 3 watch.
Any suggestions on a data field patch to establish communication with the Moxy sensor when the Run activity starts (instead of navigating to a setup screen each time)?
Thanks.
