Ambit Apps Compilation

Raimo Järvi

@Dubosson-Aurélien I didn’t try compiling your code, but if I paste it to VS Code, it shows this.

@Raimo-Järvi the message says, that the „-„ character is the wrong one. Maybe it helps, if you remove them and type them again.

@Dubosson-Aurélien
As @Raimo-Järvi and @mabe2k noticed, you should remove the “-” character and replace 184-70 by 114 directly.

To make code maintenance more easy, you could declare a variable to set your resting HR and use it in your condition:

REST_HR=70;
if(SUUNTO_HR_AVG[5]<(70/100*(184-REST_HR)+70) || SUUNTO_HR_AVG[5]>(75/100*(184-REST_HR)+70))
{
Suunto.alarmBeep();
}
RESULT=SUUNTO_HR_AVG[5];

Hi i am trying to code an interval training in time, i am able to activate the light but not the beep, do you guys have an idea ?

/*header*/
/*entrainement intervalle*/
counter=0;
warmup_time=1500;
speed_up_1=900;
speed_up_2=600;
speed_up_3=600;
recovery_time=100;
factor=300;
wsu=0;
/*end header*/

/*decompte en bip*/

if(SUUNTO_DURATION==1497){Suunto.alarmBeep();}
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==1498){Suunto.alarmBeep();}
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==1499){Suunto.alarmBeep();}
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==warmup_time){
Suunto.alarmBeep();
Suunto.light();
wsu=warmup_time+speed_up_1;
counter=counter+1;
}


/*decompte changement allure*/
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu-3){Suunto.alarmBeep();}
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu-2){Suunto.alarmBeep();}
if(SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu-1){Suunto.alarmBeep();}


/*temps de repos*/
if((SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu) && (counter==1 || counter==3) ){
Suunto.alarmBeep();
Suunto.light();
wsu=wsu+recovery_time;
counter=counter+1;
}

/*2eme accel*/
if((SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu) && (counter==2)){
Suunto.alarmBeep();
Suunto.light();
wsu=wsu+speed_up_2;
counter=counter+1;
}


/*3eme accel*/
if((SUUNTO_DURATION==wsu) && (counter==4)){
Suunto.alarmBeep();
Suunto.light();
wsu=wsu+speed_up_3;
counter=counter+1;
}



postfix="min/km";
RESULT=SUUNTO_PACE;

Hi, I am looking for a way to load data into a route then get a suuntoapp to access it, in order to be able to read books on my watch. does anyone know if this is possible?also, if so, then it may be possible to load more complex data.

I believe that should be trully impossible. a book would be too big for ambit memory.
If I understand correctly here are some examples and their size compared to ambit memory
https://github.com/hefler/SuuntoApps

I profit to ask the community: in movescount era, we had workouts, if I recall correctly, they could be choosen from the device , on activity, next for some seconds. How different were these compared an interval app let’s say?

edit: I am working with claude to try to bring back these features for the ambit, here is a “report” of what “is missing” to possibly get it…if someone can help, I am hears…

2nd ask (AI written)
@pavel.samokha — thanks for building this compiler, it still works great and a lot of us depend on it.
My one worry: it’s a single server. If it ever goes offline, we lose the ability to create new workouts (installing existing ones would still work). To de-risk that, I started reverse-engineering the compiled format from its output —
and I can already emit some workout binaries offline, byte-for-byte identical to yours.

But that’s effort duplicated, and it’d fragment things. So, one concrete question:

Would you be willing to share the compiler’s source, or a self-hostable build?

That alone would make it community-maintainable and future-proof — I’m glad to help host and maintain it. If not shareable, even a short note on how it emits the bytecode would let us finish a clean-room version.

(And if anyone from Suunto sees this: documenting the compiled-app format the Ambit accepts would achieve the same thing.)

If against the rules, tell me and I will delete it.

@André-Faria Hey, you’re doing a nice effort, but it’s unlikely me or anyone else from current Suunto employees would help with that.

I understand that it’s fun for you, but for wider audience of Suunto users I have more important issues to solve than providing you materials. It’s also questionable if I can provide them at all without legal checks.

For sure, and I totally understand that. If I didn’t ask I would never know.
And thanks for taking the time to answer me, it is already nice from you!
