Use of RowingRecorder.js for callibration?

[JaapvanEkris]

First of all, what a good idea and a nice looking monitor!

I am going to add a Raspberry Pi to my setup as well. As there is a lot I don't know about my rower (NordicTrack RX800) yet, I thought about calibrating OpenRowingMonitor. What my idea is, is that I aim for a flat wattage on the standard monitor for five minutes, and then switch to the Raspberry to keep recording for five minutes while keeping the same pace. In essence, the wattage and all resulting data should more or less match (=distance). By doing that for different wattages and some trial and error, I could probably get pretty close to the original settings.

Being able to replay the five minutes would help. Can RowingRecorder.js be used for this, and how would I do that?

Yes, you can do that. It's currently a bit hacky, but for now you could uncomment the replay block at the end of the app/server.js file that reads

replayRowingSession(rowingEngine.handleRotationImpulse, {
  filename: 'recordings/wrx700_2magnets.csv',
  realtime: true,
  loop: true
})

Set the appropriate filename of your recording and if you just want to replay your recorded session once, set loop to false.
