About ErgBuddy
** DISCONTINUED PRODUCT **
Concept2 suggests looking at ErgData App which now includes voice features for visually impaired, works with PM3 and PM4, and does not require Wahoo Key. Concept2 understands that ErgBuddy provides some advantages for some customers, so it will remain in the iTunes app store until June 1, 2014.
ErgBuddy displays performance data from your Concept2 Indoor Rower providing a large, bright display which is particularly useful when rowing in a dimly lit or dark room.
Fully compatible with the iOS VoiceOver feature, ErgBuddy can also announce your performance data at regular intervals, making it an ideal training partner for the blind and visually impaired.
IMPORTANT NOTE: To use this program, there are some system requirements:
1) Wahoo Key (formerly "Fisica Sensor Key").
2) Concept2 rowing machine with PM4 monitor. Any rowing machine or PM4 monitor purchased before December 2012 may require a free firmware update to the PM4 monitor.
See www.concept2.com/ErgBuddy for more detailed information.
If you cannot connect your PM4 to ErgBuddy, you may need a firmware update. Contact rowing@concept2.com if you need assistance.
History of ErgBuddy: This project was started as a demonstration to show that it was possible to connect an iOS device to the PM4 and was shown at CES 2011. Visually impaired customers gave Concept2 feedback that this was an important development as the results could be spoken. As a result, Concept2 expedited the publishing specifically for this market. ErgBuddy is a low-frills free app specifically for this market.
