Connect IQ 2.2.0 Public Beta!

Highly appreciate the function the access Power Meter directly for my Dashboard App!

But, I am highly recommend provide "onMessage(message)" callback also to let us handle message ourselves.

The purpose are:
1. For Garmin Vector (Come on! this is your own product! ), Power Phase data is NOT ANT+ standard value, so need us handle the message directly. So if I want to show Power Phase data, I have no way to do so right now.

2. For some other Power Meter, it should some other fields out of standard ANT+ value. So provide onMessage() directly can make feasibility better.

3. Also, for some other ANT+ devices, it could get some benefit like Power Meters.



Whatever, the implementation of my request is not hard based on recent architecture. But that is really useful for developers.

QQSTARS: You should be able to do what you want with the GenericChannel. When you initialize the channel, you set up a listener to handle any incoming messages, and provide a channel assignment.

For example, we have a GenericChannelTester app that we use to test the generic ANT channel implementation. Here's how it initializes the channel:

GenericChannel.initialize( method( :onMessage ), chanAssign );


Later, we implement the onMessage listener/callback:

function onMessage(msg) {
var payload = msg.getPayload();
if( Ant.MSG_ID_CHANNEL_RESPONSE_EVENT == msg.messageId ) {
if( Ant.MSG_ID_RF_EVENT == (payload[0] & 0xFF) ) {
var eventCode = payload[1] & 0xFF;
if( Ant.MSG_CODE_EVENT_TX == eventCode ) {
//Create and populate the data payload
etc., etc.

Brandon,

The new navigation simulator add in is great, but I have a question. On the Edge 1000 I have course .fit files that have existing course points. When I try to use the nameOfNextPoint activity.info it is not picking up these points names thought the other data corresponding to them is coming through. If I let the edge generate a route it will seem to pick up names, but as I have specific data in the course point I want to relay I would like to be able to use the data stored int he original .fit file any ideas?

Ryan

Ryan, we'll take a look at this. Are the existing courses ones that you created on the Edge, or were they obtained through some other source? I'd appreciate it if you could send along the FIT files containing the courses with which you're having trouble--email to [EMAIL="[email protected]"][email protected][/EMAIL] would work best.
EDIT: One of my teammates interpreted your post a little differently than I, which has raised a couple of questions. I had understood the problem to be on-device, but since you mention the navigation simulator, I now think you're probably talking about loading a course file in the CIQ simulator to simulate an activity. I know that this will not work right now, but it's a good idea. The only way to simulate what you want is by opening the Simulation > Set Navigation Data dialog box and setting point names there.

Brandon,

I was referring to on the device themselves (tested on 520/820/1000). On the simulator the logic works as expected, but on the actual device I can not even display nameOfNextPoint though distanceToNextPoint etc all work correctly. I sent you an email with some course .fit files that contain course points.

I appreciate the clarification--we'll get in investigated. :)

Sure i know GenericChannel can do that and Recently that is what i have implemented for.


But, discussed before, using GenericChannel MUST require users using AppSetting to set power meter id. And, only one connection can be created between device and power meter. So, if i want to use genericChannel to communicate with power meter, i can show runtime power phase values which analysised by message body. BUT, in This way, system internal power meter connection MUST be disabled so NO power data will be recorded into FIT file.


Within AntPlus new API, actually it provided balance/TE/PS data which got from message. But as you see, for Garmin Vector, powerPhase values still CANNOT be shown because that is not provided (phase data is NOT in ANT+ standard protocals But i know how to retrieve that if i got ANT+ power meter message body).


So, what i want is power phase data. Recently no way to get unless using genericChannel directly with SO MUCH limitation i mentioned.


Based on that, if AntPlus new API can provide me "onMsg(payload)" directly But not only "onBalanceChanged(balanceData)" and similars, i can use ANT+ "payload" to get what i want.

makeWebRequest with HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_GPX response type doesn't work

Looks like a bug. I've reproduced in the sim for HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_GPX. The other data types seem to work without a problem.

I've also discovered that this great new feature doesn't work in either my 2.2 simulator or my Edge 1000 running the 90.10 beta firmware.

Will support for GPX route download be fixed as documented in this release?

Thanks,

James

Hi James: Yes, this feature should be fully functional by the time the 2.2.x SDK comes out of beta. In fact, we already have a fix merged and I've verified that it works.
