Erg Arcade
Erg ArcadeErg Arcade is a growing collection of browser-based tools, visual experiments, and data analysis for Concept2 ergometers - the RowErg, SkiErg, and BikeErg. These applications talk directly to a PM5 performance monitor over Bluetooth or USB, right from your browser, with no installs and no accounts.
It’s a personal project, built for the fun of pulling live data off the erg and doing something interesting with it - a second-screen display, a pace-driven visualisation, a metric reporter for improving your skills, even games!
If you’re curious how any of this works, the source code for all applications is available on GitHub.
If you want to write your own browser-based applications, start with the pm5-base application, which contains the code to talk to the PM5.
None of it would be possible without Concept2 publishing an open protocol for third-party developers. Thanks, Concept2!
