How can I record accelerometer data to be played back in the Simulator?

Former Member over 8 years ago

I am developing an App in ConnectIQ, initially just for Fenix3. The simulated accelerometer data which can be provided by the Simulator is very limited and I'd like to record my own from my device to play back. Accelerometer data doesn't seem to be recorded in the FIT file by default, and if I create a custom FIT entry then I don't think the simulator will know that it's supposed to be accelerometer data.

If this is possible, what's the best way to do it?

Thanks!

I don't believe that this is something that can be done with the simulator right now. It does sound like something that would be very useful for developers wanting to use accelerometer data in their applications.

I did a search, and found this old post on the topic. It looks like the current recommendation is to use an actual device.

Thanks Travis. It would be a very useful feature.
Right now I have to throw my Fenix 3 across the room each time I change my code!
