Re: Feature request: Integration of the GARMIN watch into the Mind Monitor

ANT+ sensors are difficult to stream to a PC. I could not find an easy way:

Sensor streaming to a PC might be easier with bluetooth smart sensors. Matlab now supports pairing to bluetooth smart.

There is an example in Matlab for a bluetooth smart heart rate sensor. Wireshark can be used to display the data.

Wireshark is a free and open-source packet analyzer. Is Matlab necessary? Can the same example also be used without Matlab only with Wireshark?

Here is a preliminay solution:

the Fit File Repair Tool as a great potential.

After a long suffering period, there is some new hope to access Garmin watch data in real time from a Swiss friend who wrote some ingenious code to send ANT data from a Garmin watch to a MQTT Broker

https://infinityflow.ch/raspberry-pi-ant/

you only need a Rasperri PI for it. Mind Monitor, Garmin watch, and Rasperri PI they fit perfectly together. Can you integrate a MQTT-Broker in the Mind Monitor, James Clutterbuck?

Or, to say it more clearly: there is a new path available for the Garmin watch, which can be integrated in other applications. But I requires a Rasperri PI. But eventually, a Linux virtual box running in Windows could also solve this problem.

I'm not interested in coding for the Garmin Watch, sorry, as I don't have one. I will add PPG data from the Muse in the future. MQQT is a possibility too.
However, with Covid-19, I'm not able to work on Mind Monitor, as I have a full time job and my 8 year old son to take care of.

Good to know. Good luck with the PPG signal.

The new Polar Sensor Logger app supports sensor data forwarding using MQTT-protocol. It would be great when data forwarding using MQTT-protocol becomes a standard for android sensor apps. MQTT has good support for Influx database. All sensors in one influx database, this is my vision.
