Welcome to the 4Sports-Homepage Note: this software is no longer being developed. If you would like to adopt this project, simply send a short e-mail to: 4sports (-a-t-) os-cs.deWhat is 4Sports? 4Sports is an "exercise-management-software". You can use it to analyse your exercises in a number of ways. Currently 4Sports is able to import data from the Garmin "Forerunner 201/301"-devices and display some basic information in a table. It's also possible to export the tracks into Google Earth (the track is color-coded according to your heart-rate). New:Now it's possible to display information in graphs (like heart rate over distance). It's also possible to export these plots to a SVG-fileTo connect to the forerunner-device 4Sports makes use of the great frX01-Toolkit from Jori Brander (see http://fr201toolkit.sourceforge.net/ ). You have to have this toolkit installed to be able to use 4Sports. (In the future there may also be other ways to input data).

Download You can download the software via sourceforge (faster) Note: this software is in early alpha-stage, so there might still be a lot of bugs in it. It is not trivial to setup. How to install 1.What you need: - Ruby (I use version 1.8, but it should work with other versions as well) - Qt bindings for Ruby (included in most distributions, in my Kubuntu the package is called "libqt0-ruby1.8") - Mysql bindings for Ruby ("libmysql-ruby1.8" in Kubuntu) - FRX01-Toolkit (for setup-instructions see http://fr201toolkit.sourceforge.net/ - libsvg-ruby (for plots) 2.Installing 4Sports - Untar the archive - edit 4Sports.rc (you have to set at least database-information and the full path to the FRX01-readTrackData-script, the FR_DEV-variable should be ok, if you use a FR301) - run 4Sports.rb Contact Please send bug-reports,comments and suggestions to 4sports (-a-t-) os-cs.de I have tried to choose a name for this software which is not already registered as some kind of trademark. If you do have rights on this name or sell a product with a similar name please send me a short email, so that I can change the name. |
