How to get a BLE Heart Rate Monitor into OSC in Max

Blair Z's icon

Hey Guys,

I have been using the HeartRateOSC https://github.com/trentbrooks/HeartRateOSC and managed to get my hands on a Mio Alpha 2 which was working.. and connecting to Max, but now it has randomly stopped...

Has anyone else had this experience?

I had tested it got it triggering some things to take to an event to show off and it stopped working the night before... no apparent reason..

the watch was still displaying HR. And in the app it finds and then reads that the watch exists in the drop down. But then just gets stuck at scanning....

not sure what changed.. maybe interference with the BLE.?

I have debugged my mac's bluetooth, factory reset the watch and have managed to get the watch streaming to 'Map My Run app' on my iphone...

BUT it still doesnt seem to want to connect to the HeartRateOSX app..

Very strange... trying to find a work around... Any help much appreciated..

Hi Blair, so, you got a Mio Alpha 2 connected to Max, using the HeartRateOSC from https://github.com/trentbrooks/HeartRateOSC. I would like to try this out myself, can you post your patch here please?
