Freeware RowIt Program updated for use with PM4

smichael · Post by **smichael** » September 17th, 2009, 3:20 pm

I've received a request to do some updating to my RowIt program, and would like to know how much interest is left for the program. The amount of interest will dictate how much work I'm going to put in.

Would be nice to get it working with a PM4 and/or under GNU/Linux/XWindows.

A test version of Rowit that has been updated to use the latest development kit from Concept2. The graph is now removed if no items are selected. I've also begun work on a Danish translation. Other translations are possible, let me know if you want to work on one.

Edit: Scroll down for current download link

I added code that hopefully enables support for the PM4. I don't have a PM4, so I need someone to test it for me and let me know if it works.

I would be willing to provide my source code for anyone wanting to work on making it compatible with Linux, but I would imagine any incompatibility comes from the calls to the PM3 libraries/dlls which I have no control over.

edit: updated link to go to latest version

I have a PM4 (even though I don't have a rowing machine) and it worked. It spotted when I set a 2K and a 30' workout.

That's good to hear, thanks.

Unless someone finds a problem here is the final version. It has the finished Danish translations and adds units to the the numbers (meters, seconds, etc.)

I did a 90 minute piece, it handled it well and I could read the old files that I had created with my patched version of RowIt.

Hello (again) Scott - and thank you for the Danish translation

I've been using it for a 24 hour run and it worked pretty fine until it reached 6000 strokes.. Then it just f**ked it all up (weird big and/or negative numbers).. It is rare that you row 6000 strokes, but it's still a bug I can imagine..

Otherwise there is always more things to develope on (hope people are using the program, because it is really simple and niceworking), like e.g. possibility of hiding some of the lines - example my PM3 doesn't read my heart rate, so the heart rate is always on 0.

Anyhow, I like the units!

Your post got me wondering what I set the maximum array size to store the data. I checked and it was indeed set to 6000. I'll bump it up to 20,000.

Nice! Then it can least for a little longer

Does it have any effect on the rest of the program (or the computer) when you do that?

It will just make the program use more memory, but should still be pretty small.

Okay, great

It's just if row at about 30/min, it will "least" for about 11 hours - so if someone will row a longer piece, you could be persuade to make a "better" version at that time?

I've increased the maximum number of strokes to 20,000.

Download RowIt 1.1

Here's an old screenshot for anyone who doesn't know what the program is.

I'm not sure why you wouldn't just grow the array as needed, and never have this issue surface again. Maybe every 1K strokes you just grow it by 1K.

Windows-native app? Any gtk or qt interface for the Linux folks? If not, does it run under Wine?

RowIT beta 2 works well with my PM4

Why not dynamically grow the array...
