Comment on Help with the Hal deprecation by Michael T

If you’re not worried about portability, sysfs looks like a good bet too. They have certain guarantees about how the API will (not) change in future, and it is pretty easy to write code that will work with kernels back to the early 2.6.x days and still work as GregKH says it should in order to be future-proof. I’m not sure how good it is if you want to poll for new devices though, and finding the matching device nodes can be a bit of a pain without falling back to (newer versions of) udev.

I have the forerunner 305 (running and triathlon) and edge305 (bike) … but if you have a lot of data to import pytrainer go to crash

Which model of pulsometer/chrono are you using ?
I’d like to buy some and looks like you got some linux compatible stuff which is good

Can you just plug in past information like weight, height, body fat, etc. to give it some history? And what if I run but without one of those fancy devices? Is it still useful?

I try pytrainer some time ago … but I have problem because it lost many information from my garmin.

do you send the information to nikeplus with pytrainer? or not?

I’d like SportTrack (http://www.zonefivesoftware.com/SportTracks/) it’s for windows but it works (more or less) in linux like mono.

bye bye and good running

What would be seriously cool is if you could add support for the Wii balance board in so you could also track your weight/balance too.

There’s some python code out there which is fairly straight forward for using the balance board

Ah, very cool.

I recently ran with my Android phone and managed to plot my route with the RideTrac and My Tracks applications and uploaded the data to Google Maps.

Ideally I don’t want to run with a phone so I bought a “linux” supported GPS logger off eBay the other day. The idea is to turn it on at the beginning of my run (put it in my pocket) and stop it at the end of my run.

Then see what magic comes out.
