New on Dev-side..... Race Pacer with planned segments/paces
-
Pretty new (and old…) on this, but cannot figure out how get negative values to display on the S+ Simulator? I am developing a Race Pacer app that takes user input based on pace zones and segments (running) and want to display ahead/behind per segment w. respect to predefined race plan (either time or distance). App in short:
Sements are planned beforehand - and entered through user settings in mobile app:
Watch display current configuration, where the problem is with the Ahead/Behind on the left fields:
I have tested most outputFormats in HTML - but no success. I also tested Math.abs in the main java - and then it works as expected (without (-))…
So - the logic is there and most things seem to work - and the race is on saturday… Any ideas/inputs?
(Also: any ideas on how to connect the watch to the laptop (W11) - I have followed all instructions but I am not able to connect my Race through USB and/or BT. It appears the laptop does not see the watch, but it sees other BT-devices)

@DonTomGot can’t help you but absolutely support your project !
My needs are close to what you’re developping : on ultra trail races, I always load the route and add waypoints (most of time the aid stations).
Doing this I easly have set a custom sport mode with a screen that diplays time/averagepace/distance to next waypoint…, using “lap” datas
The con’s is that I must turn off autolap, and I need to not forget to set a manual lap when arriving to my waypoint.
Could your developpement use those waypoints to set the segments ?
So the only target to set could be "pace target to next waypoint (or to “next manual lap” ? -
@Tieutieu Seems an interesting concept - and I can see where you are going. Unfortunately I have no grasp of the waypoint concepts (never used it). I might be having a look - but my ambition with this app is more on pre-planning roadraces where additional tools could be used in // to identify suitable target paces etc.
But it remains a theoretical plan as I still cannot load the app to my watch…

@DonTomGot the only “issue” you could have with your preload plan is that even if you plan your 2,45km @5:19/km segment like in your exemple, on the field there is a lot of chances that your segment will not be 2,45km (more or less, depending on terrain, route that could change, wrong direction… or so…) ; so I guess it would impact the rest of plan.
That’s why I set waypoints (on route, in Sunnto App) and use manuals lap during races to have current pace on lap and distance remaining to nextwaypoint.
