innorow.js

innorow uses a Hall Effect Sensor, Wahoo HR Monitor, Raspberry Pi, Node JS, and Socket IO to display a real-time dashboard of rowing data. I am using this for my Concept 2 Model A.

Hardware Dependencies

• Raspberry Pi (I had a Raspberry Pi 1, Model B laying around)
• Hall Effect Sensor Switch ($5.99)
• Magnet for bike spokes ($3.83)
• Bluetooth 4.0 Dongle ($7.99)
• Wifi Dongle (already had one)
• HR Monitor with Bluetooth 4.0 (I had an original Wahoo HR 1.7 but new ones will work or the Polar H7 HR monitors)

Software Dependencies

• Bluez 5.39 (more recent versions weren't working with my HR monitor) -- Don't skip this step! You need btmgmt to work.
• Install the PIGPIO dependencies mentioned here.

Common issues

• If you're not sure how to get your UUID for your HR monitor, use the BleHR.list.print() method mentioned by the Heartrate node module.
• If your HR monitor does not report on battery level (as was the issue with mine) you will need to comment out Line 111 of the HR module.

Running innorowjs

After you've installed all the modules (npm install) and you can run innorow using sudo -E node index.js. Note: You must use sudo to have access to the Pi's GPIO and you must use -E so you can use your Runkeeper environment variables.

Run innorow automatically on Pi startup

To run innorow automatically on your Pi's startup (so you can simply plug the Pi in to get started) then follow these directions:

• Install chkconfig via sudo apt-get install chkconfig
• Copy the file in /startup_scripts/innorow to /etc/init.d/ and then sudo chmod 755 the file
• Create a new file here /etc/default/innorow and add your Runkeeper client ID and client secret RUNKEEPER_CLIENT_ID=<your id> RUNKEEPER_CLIENT_SECRET=<your secret>
• Run sudo chkconfig --add innorow to turn your service name into a startup script
