Metronome for deaf

Hi all,
one of the biggest reasons because I bought a FR630 is that it has an built-in metronome.

That's cool, if I could hear it.
I cannot hear the metronome, breathing, cars noise, and wind always cover the metronome, so I cannot hear it, the sound is too low.

So, because I am a developer I have been trying to find some workarounds:
1. Datafield which calls every XXXms Attention.playSound(), passing a tone value louder than the default one, unfortunately the datafield cannot use the timer, so I cannot trigger anything more often than 1 second ( the onUpdate() method is called once every second not more often). So, it looks like that this solution is not viable.
2. Watch app, from a watch app I can call Timer.start(callback, milliseconds, repeat), and then in the callback function I play a loud sound, but I cannot start the run activity because the app would be stopped in order to start the run activity, while I would like to use the run activity embedded in my FR630, instead to use a custom one.

I do not know how to find a workaround to have a louder metronome beep (sound), I am running out of ideas.
My last idea was to hack the firmware to try to increase the volume, but I am not sure how to do it, and neither if it is feasible.

Do any of you have any idea, basically to increase the volume of the metronome? ( or any workaround?)

Regards,
Dan
  • Bonjour et pourquoi pas faire une application qui intègre l'activité (plusieurs champs de données) et la fonction vibreur en parallèle.

    J'ai développé une application APP4TRAIL qui affiche des champs de données et qui permets de faire des vibrations/sons, donc tu peux faire une application qui mixte toutes les x secondes un son / vibration et tes champs de données

    Thanks for your reply Didier, but I do not want to create a new app just because of a louder metronome.
    I am ok with the embedded run activity in my Garmin, but the metronome is not hearable, I am not even interested in the vibration, just louder volume, that is it.
