DataLink

[dAVIb]

Hi.

I have seen that you code can read Polar devices (Polar FlowLink - 0x0da4:0003) , the next Polar device is (Polar DataLink - 0xda4:0004).

I have done a simple modification in code, only change idVendor and idProduct to probe your code with DataLink. Code detects it, but only show this:

sudo ./polar

Manufacturer String: Polar Electro Oy
Product String: Polar DataLink
Serial Number String: (1033) Љ
Indexed String 1: Polar Electro Oy
Unable to send a feature report.
Feature Report
00 00 a7
HRM present.
waiting...

No data received!

Is it possible to use your code to read from this?

I'm so much interesting in this issue.

Thanks

PS.:
After reading rules.d file, I have seen a thing that make me a doubt: (SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTRS{idProduct}=="003f", MODE="0666" ) is it OK?

Hi!

I am sorry, but I somehow missed your question. I know it is late (a year too late, to be exact), but anyway. The answer to your question is NO, this program cannot be used for DataLink as it is. We would need to check the USB data flow and see whether the code could be altered to accommodate the protocol.

This project was just a test whether I can hack into my FT60 and FlowLink. I could do it partially and I wrote this ugly code. I am still stinking about rewriting in some programmer friendly form someday.

This issue is very old, but I think it could be interesting again.
Polar will stop polarpersonaltrainer.com. This means that devices using the datalink to sync will not be able to sync with a service any more.

I still like my CS500 a lot.
@samop do you think you can hack together something for users like me? Would be glad to help testing.
