Water rower - can't get the settings to count strokes #83
-
Hi folks, I used to have a magnetic rower and was using open rowing monitor just fine, things worked great. Now i've moved to a water rower and I can't get it to count the strokes properly. It's either nothing or too many. I've tried a million things, but wanted to start from the beginning here. I'm using WRX700 as the profile as I feel that matches my rower pretty well (in terms of type). In this mode, it counts one stroke, then just ignores the rest as per the log below. I do have 2 magnets per revolution. I test the sensor with multimeter and all good. Seems like the filter just ignores the measurements. Complains about acceleration. I tried playing with those values, but still ignores with a different message. Only thing that helps is raising number of errors value to above 0. But then it counts too many strokes, basically counts strokes even when the paddles spin down from inertia. Any help would be greatly appreciated. `pi@rowingmonitor:/opt/openrowingmonitor/config $ sudo service openrowingmonitor restart ` |

I would increase maximumUpwardChange to a much higher value, as that might frustrate stroke detection. If you get rid of most unneeded corrections, you could increase the flanklength with one, as this tends to stabilise things. |

So...after a really long time of messing around, turned out that the reed switch that came with the machine was not working out with the Pi. The switch works, just not how the Pi/ORM expects it to. I put in my own reed switch and magically the out of the box WRX700 profile works beautifully. Just in case anybody comes across a similar issue, try a different reed switch, clearly they make a difference. |
