Hi

What's the new version that just been released. It says "do not approve" ?

LEWSEYGrum

Due to some troubles, the app is under development. Please wait for the next release without the "DO NOT APPROVE"
PS: I Thought it's not visible in the store.

4.9kg muscle mass!

Firstly i love the app.

we all know why Garmin has not included weight scale compatibility in their latest devices but thats life I guess!

I have changed the user id to 1, chosen athlete mode rather than auto....

I appear to get pretty accurate results with exception to muscle mass.

I have 4.9kg muscle mass with a weight of 91kg!

anything I can do to help improve accuracy?

Help how to extract and convert to Garmin Health center

I could very much use a guide as how to extract the data saved in the log file, and convert it to a FIT file to import in Garmin Health center?
I see the data just fine in the Garmin connect mobile app, when using my Fenix 5.
But, I would like to be able to have the data in my Garmin Helath center as well - for trending and stuff like that.

I understand that I need the FitCSVTool for that, so I downloaded it....but I'm sorry to say, that stuff from that on, isn't self explaining ;)

Please can you provide your watch type, and if you are using a BC-1000 (not BC1000+ or BC1500)?
Are the results with athlete mode off reasonable?

It's currently a bit of work to make this work, i'll try to explain it here as part of my installation:

• Enable Logging
  Follow the steps in Basic Debugging in the Programmers Guide
  Be careful, the program name is arbitrary, in my case the name is 5AD5EEC9.PRG, so the log file name is 5AD5EEC9.TXT
  
• Extract the Weight Data
  The Data in the Logfile looks like this:

  You need to extract the lines without a timestamp at the beginning an copy it to a new Text file (e.g. BC-1000.TXT), so it looks like:

  Be careful, the data maybe spread over 2 files (5AD5EEC9.BAK and 5AD5EEC9.TXT)
  
• Convert to FIT Format
  Go to the directory where you installed the FitCSVTool and run the command:
  java -jar .\FitCSVTool.jar -t -c .\BC-1000.TXT BC-1000.FIT
  
• Upload to Garmin Connect
  Import the generated FIT file in Garmin Connect
  

Hi, there is a new version for fr935.

I have installed the application to FR935, it measures weight. I can't find where/how to enter the user ID. No app setup screen is available to do so. Any advise is welcomed ;-) Thanks.
