Poor man's Garmin

[Vishnu Janardhanan S]

Hi All,

This is not a replacement for Garmin, just a jugad if you are not into serious training and dont want to spend money on Garmin, still want to track ur Cadence and HR on Strava.

I bought a Btwin Count 14+ bike computer, the idea was to try and integrate its cadence and HR date with strava gpx

I know that Ashok Kumar uses ANT+ dongle on iphone to do this, but my phone is Android and it does not have OTG.

With the help of a few free software, i was able to achieve the same, so thought of sharing.

1. Upload the data from count 14+ to PC and save it as a fitlog file.

2. Convert Fitlog to hrm using some software (i used TCX converter ])

3. Export the gpx file of the ride from strava

4. Rename both files with same name (one will be .hrm and other .gpx)

5. Use some sw to merge these two into a tcx file (I used tcxcreater]

6. Upload this back to Strava and delete the old entry.

7. Done :-)

Though it looks like a long process, its actually that difficult or time consuming.

Result sample(only Cadence, i dont have HR belt yet): LINK

Thank you,

Regards

Vishnu

Sorry folks, i think i posted it too soon without verifying the data is accurate :-(

I think there are some issues with the final data.

Let me verify and if i am able to do it correctly i will post details in the same thread.

Hi Vishnu,

You should have posted this earlier, I could have saved the 50$ I spent on my ANT+ dongle... :)

Thanks and regards,
Ashok
