how to write data from AntGeneric sensor and dynamic data field to FIT file

how do we write custom field into FIT file especially in an app creating a generic sensor (tempe temperature sensor or mosygen data for instance) ?
are the dynamic field(like the beer computation ) stored into the FIT file or are they just displayed ?

thanks
  • At this point, the data from the Generic Ant Channel can not be written to the FIT file. I'm told it's on the list for a future release but I don't know when that will be.

    Thisisant have yet to include the beer computation into the FIT specification ;) If really want to see it done, and simply can't wait for the IQ functionality, then send the data out of the device and write an app that converts it to a fit file.
  • sharkbait_au, how to write the data out of the device ? I thought the only was to writing a FIT file.
    So is it possible to write our own file, let say a csv text file ?
  • There is no concept of a 'file' in the ConnectIQ environment. If you want to get data off of the device, you have to use the communications api (and either send the data to a mobile device via bluetooth, or send it to a web service using a mobile device as a bridge).

    Although I wouldn't write to a csv file. I would export all the data, other metrics included, and write the FIT file. The FIT SDK can help you with this.
