HOWTO USE

There are three different ways to use this tool:

1. doubleclick the shortcut, the script looking for fit files in the defaultdirectory, defined inside the python file

# Directory where the FIT Files are located
# HOME stands for youre homedirectory e.g /home/pi 
HOME = os.path.expanduser('~')

• setting verbosity C:\thefolderwhereyousavethefile\fitfileanalyzer.py -v[0-2]
• ignoring wrong crc C:\thefolderwhereyousavethefile\fitfileanalyzer.py -i
• logging also unknown field- and data names C:\thefolderwhereyousavethefile\fitfileanalyzer.py -u

HOWTO install fitparse

the normal way is now working (the old way below)

with python2

$ C:\yourepythonprogrammfolder\scripts\pip.exe install fitparse

with python3:

$ C:\yourepythonprogrammfolder\scripts\pip3.exe install fitparse

• the description on the project webpage did not worked for me so i do it this way:
• go to the project github page
• click on "clone or download" and select "download zip"
• unzip this file into a new folder
• open a command prompt and change in that folder and execude the setup.py:

$ cd youredownloadfolder\python-fitparse
$ C:\yourepythonprogrammfolder\python.exe setup.py install

for pypy:

$ cd youredownloadfolder\python-fitparse
$ C:\yourepypyprogrammfolder\pypy.exe setup.py install

for qpython:

New:

use the integrated QPYPI -> TOOLS -> INSTALL WITH PYTHONS PYPI and enter: pip3 install fitparse or pip install fitparse (depending which python version you use.

from the unzipped folder copy the whole folder to: /internal_sdcard/qpython/lib/python2.7/site-packages

TIP

instead of using the standard python, use pypy
With pypy the script runs about 5 times faster.
startup time is longer, but after that is faster.
On Windows, there is only the python2 compliant 32bit version. but that version is ok.
