Hello:

I need to decode the left_right_balance data from a FIT, and I don't know how to do it. I see the field is of type FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE, which is actually a FIT_UINT8. I see also in the tye definition the types FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_MASK, FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_RIGHT, and FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_COUNT, but I don't know how to deal with them. Could anyone tell me how to decode the data?

Thanks      

Fairly sure it's going to be straight as from the Bike power profile. Read that doc for the bits about power balance and try decoding as per that.

decode the left_right_balance

Welcome to the forum, it is no secret: (I hope so)

left_right_balance (uint8)
mask 0x7F % contribution
right 0x80 data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown

left_right_balance_100 (uint16)
mask 0x3FFF % contribution scaled by 100
right 0x8000 data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown

left_right_balance e.g. in Python:

decode the left_right_balance

Welcome to the forum, it is no secret: (I hope so)

left_right_balance (uint8)
mask 0x7F % contribution
right 0x80 data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown

left_right_balance_100 (uint16)
mask 0x3FFF % contribution scaled by 100
right 0x8000 data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown

left_right_balance e.g. in Python:

right = (value & 0b01111111) 

left = 100 - right

set_right = (value & 0b10000000) >> 7

if set_right:
    decode = 'L/R '+ str(left) + '%-' + str(right)+'%'

else:
    decode = '?/? ' + str(left) + '%-' + str(right)+'%' 

Thank you for your answer. Finally I've found some code in C and along with your instructions I've written my code:



where FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_INVALID is the value for no data, FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_RIGHT is the checking value for "data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown" and FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_MASK is the value to decode the contribution.

I'm a bit confused about the "data corresponds to right if set, otherwise unknown" statement. What is the meaning of "unknown"? Means that there is no data as it can be checked via FIT_LEFT_RIGHT_BALANCE_INVALID?, means that there is a value but it is meaningless?, or maybe means that the value is for the left leg?

Thanks

it means:

if set (1):     balance value is for right
if not set (0): balance value is for right or for left, it is unknown
