Trying on RCX3 GPS data not detected #1

Closed mathieubossaert closed 5 years ago

mathieubossaert commented 5 years ago

Good morning, thanks for that work which will keep living a lot of great rcx watches after the end of polar personnal trainer. I try it over my rcx3 and I face an issue. bin and json export work but tcx does not : 2018-11-25T10:02:41 has no GPS data But it does, from a G5 GPS. I attached the bin and raw exported files 20181125T100241.zip

Thanks again.

Hi, thank you for the feedback.

It's probably because RCX3 has different protocol. At least boolean flags for status of HR transmitter and GPS sensor have different positions in bytearray. It's hard to tell more without .hrm and .gpx files.

Thanks. I Can get it from personnal trainer portal but is that what you should need ?

mathieubossaert commented 5 years ago

I found how to do it. I'll get thoses files later from a windows computer. https://support.polar.com/au-en/support/tips/Data_Export_from_RCX5_CS500_to_ProTrainer_5

Thanks a lot !

In short, you can't use this tool with your watch, but it shouldn't be too hard to make it work. Looks like the protocol is the same with some additional data here and there.
