Today the pykool project has started after a few days of figuring out if the project was possible. I don't have a lot of time to commit to this project but I will try to get a first version of the GUI working ASAP and add other features later on.
Thanks to radioelf radioelf@gmail.com for providing the initial ant.py code that connects the bkool with the computer through ant+ protocol and figuring out the data sent by the trainer and the commands to change the trainer resistance.
The current status of the project is:
- Simple static widget showing (power, cadence, HR, slope and elapsed time) is developed
- Watts are updated live on the display
Work in progress:
- There are issues with the HR sensor update
- There are issues with the cadence sensor update
- Look at the data sent by the bkool to add speed and session distance to the input data.
