Heart Rate not in Activity

winder1987 over 8 years ago

Hey all,

I have developed an app to record activities during a football match.

I want to save the heart rates of the activity too, but when a chest belt is connected via ANT (+) the heart rate will neither be saved nor shown. The simulator shows the current heart rate (var hr is shown on display).

Is the way I do it the right way or do I need to do it another way?

function getActivity() {

    	var info = Act.getActivityInfo();

    	if (info != null) {

    		hr = info.currentHeartRate != null ? info.currentHeartRate : 0;

        	distance = info.elapsedDistance != null ? info.elapsedDistance : 0;

	    } 

    }

Thanks for your help
Andy

Are you enabling the HR sensor? (I do it in initialize() ) Like this:

Sensor.setEnabledSensors([Sensor.SENSOR_HEARTRATE]);

As a "freebie", you may want to include the Tempe even if you don't have a need to display the temperature. This way if a Tempe is available it's data will be included in the .fit and seen on Garmin Connect:

Sensor.setEnabledSensors([Sensor.SENSOR_HEARTRATE,Sensor.SENSOR_TEMPERATURE]);
