#2 how to control resistance
the details talk about controlling resistance, incline and speed....but when I look at the code, there is no mention of controlling speed and incline with no mention of resistance (i have an elliptical )
I would be happy to code changes for resistance ...but unsure what the specifications are for chirp for resistance.....any ideas
i meant to say tjere IS mention of speed and incline and no mention of resistance
Hi yes - hope this gets to you via reply - try playing the chirps into something plugged into computer running audacity or other audio software where you can see the signals.. or send it my way will see what I can do :)

Wow, thanks for replying, I had tried emailing the email
sarahbmartin@sourceforge.net but it failed.
I originally thought that there was only source code ...so I was just
looking at the source ..
The project says "iFits is a portable command line utility for encoding and
recording audio signals (chirps) to set the speed, incline, and resistance
functions of iFit technology equipped exercise machines"
but when I look at ifits.c it says
"fprintf(stderr, "\n%s\n", "FORM: ifits> [time in seconds] [speed]
[incline]");"
there is no mention in the source about resistance. Speed and incline
sure make sense for a treadmill but not for an elliptical which needs
resistance and incline.
Last night I realized there was a windows executable, which I tried but it
flashed on my win7 screen for a second and vanished. Same thing each time
I tried. I should be able to get a compiler and recompile ...i think.
Of course, there is no spec on how to control IFIT, so how you and Chad
figured this out is amazing. Is there any information on how exactly you
control the chirp IFITS ?
If you are controlling multiple things (i.e. speed / incline) or
(resistance/incline) ....is that 2 sounds jammed together or 1 sound at a
diff frequency ?
Is it possible that speed and resistance sound is interchangeable ?
Thanks for any help!!!
its funny I got the elliptical and I'm more interested in figuring out how
this works vs just using it : )

Hi Again Tim, glad it got through! It was actually just a project of mine poc for me and I brought Chad on board to maybe help out with a possible gui interface.. ha, i still dont care for those details :P it is a simple pulse amplitude modulation code in binary, adapted from some old ham radio techniques with a simple crc.. happy to explain more, adding resistance should be simple i suspect just didnt own an elliptical at the time was testing out and still dont though.. meaning to get one someday :P if ya want to look at the signals and work from there or want me to have a look.. should be a simple undertaking
V/r
