PM5 Data collection

[gary]

With the PM5 and a usb stick/concep2 utility I can upload data to the online logbook or export to csv. However the csv export has a quite limited amount of data. I was hoping for more fine grained per second or stroke logging of HR and other variables. I've seen a few apps for android that connect to the PM5 that look to log more data, however I believe these require uploading to an online service.

Are there any apps (free or one-off purchase for Linux, Windows or Android) that let you log and export data locally or at least store it in a documented file format?

I've seen various code libs as well as documentation for the Bluetooth smart and USB CSAFE protocols and may end up writing a utility to log this but it's a little surprising this doesn't already exist which makes me think I've overlooked a post/app.

That's how it's always been. One CSV row for each split. One aggregate CSV row for the whole workout.

If you need more data use ergdata on your mobile phone.

PyRow probably does enough for you. http://www.newhavenrowingclub.org/pyrow/

I used ergdata yesterday and it's nice to see the extra data but having to first upload to the logbook to then be able to download the stroke data as .fit or .tcx isn't really what I want to do. I don't mind using on-line services, but I really want a setup where everything is local and I can view the data locally then optionally upload to share if I decide to. If ergdata had a local export option via regular usb file sharing, that'd be perfect though.

It's a shame the PM5 doesn't save to the USB stick in one of those formats or at least same it in the proprietary format then the concept2 utility allow you to export as .fit/.tcx. Is there a technical reason it doesn't already do that or just lack of demand to make the development time worth it?

I'll take a look at pyrow, that does sound more like what I'm after.

Thanks

Painsled on iOS and BoatCoach on Android do export all the extra data fields to CSV for you to use locally, or, if you want the convenience of a cloud solution, these data can be stored on https://rowsandall.com so you can access them on any device you need (as well as some pretty nice visualisation tools).
