Compiling info

[WladyX]

Hello,
Thank you for publishing this, i would like to try it out on my R1 PRO, i think it should work, can you please provide some info on how to compile? I'm on Ubuntu by the way.
Thanks again,
Vlad

I added build instructions. I don't use Ubuntu, so I cannot test, but I think you will need the packages qtbase5-dev, qtconnectivity5-dev (see https://askubuntu.com/a/577334/522982), also gcc, make, cmake.
Let me know if it works for you.

Perfect, thank you! You pointed in the right direction.
I was able to compile with the following:
sudo snap install cmake --classic (cmake from apt repo in 20.04 is old)
sudo apt-get install qtbase5-dev libqt5bluetooth5 qtconnectivity5-dev [not sure if libqt5bluetooth5 really needed]
The app run ok.
Didn't test today if it actually works with my R1 PRO, but will report back once i test it.
Thanks again!

As expected seems to work perfect with my R1 PRO.

Seems I spoke too soon, it now connects, i can start it, but i got no info, from the logs i see:
qt.bluetooth.bluez: Cannot initiate reading of "{0000fe01-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}" of service "{0000fe00-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb}" "org.bluez.Error.NotPermitted" "Read not permitted"

[DorianRudolph]

Great that you enjoy my program :)

I also get that message. It seems to be triggered by the service->discoverDetails(); call, even if I don't try to read anything (so maybe a Qt bug?).
Could you clarify "i got no info"?
If you start walking, does the "statistics" panel show the current speed and walked time, steps, and distance? Note that you need to set a data path in the settings menu if you want the statistics to accumulate multiple runs.
Does the speed slider update when you change the speed with the remote?
Is the start speed (speed of the walkingpad when turning it on with the remote) set correctly after connecting?

Today it seems to work, but what happened is that it connected, i could use the start button to start the belt, but all stats where 0.
Also first time this happened it was after a run session I took a break and then when i started again the next session the stats would not populate. If it happens again i'll try to give you more info to be able to try and replicate.
Thank you!
