Polar Ignite

[JeffCdev]

Hi Roscoe, I'm wondering if you're still doing any work on this. I bought a polar ignite model, and unfortunately loophole doesn't seem to want to connect. If you have any thoughts on what I might try, I'd appreciate it very, very much.

What are the error messages? I did not test it with Polar Ignite.

Hi rsc-dev, sorry about the delay in responding! it is saying that no devices are detected. I'm wondering if there is a different protocol buffer file for the ignite.

[rsc-dev]

To be honest it might be very difficult to tell why it does not work. I do not have Ignite, so I cannot debug communication.

Hello @rsc-dev, how did you do the debugging for the other devices?

[JeffCdev]

Hi rsc.dev, I found this comment on another polar github project (using Ruby rather than python) "Polar has changed the USB interface from HID to CDC ACM. I guess you can talk to the newer Polar watches on /dev/ttyACM0 instead (serial port for the device)" I'm wondering this is applicable to loophole,, and if so, what would be involved to make the switch. Thanks!!!

Is that from cmaion?

[JeffCdev]

Yep, still on the hunt for a way to get the data off my polar ignite!
