Hi,

Just got my watch and Bluetooth dongle (the exact Belkin one recommended on the page). Using Windows 7.

Following the instructions, I am running

java -jar L2CAPServer.jar

in one window and

C:\Downloads\pulse_sdk110\pulse_sdk>C:\Python26\python.exe compileandload.py -d 00:50:C2:79:F0:23 -n

in another. It seems like the procedure begins and everything is working fine, the watch says "Loading firmware" or something and displays a sand clock, but eventually the L2CAPServer server starts splitting out messages like the one below. It almost seems like the computer is losing contact with the watch at some point?

Any suggestions as to what is going on here?

Thanks,

b.

Hi Bradley. Did you re-try sending the firmware? You can reset the watch by holding down the button for 10 seconds, or until it vibrates. Then you could try resending. There is a chance that the firmware transfer failed due to a Bluetooth thing.

Which smartphone are you planning on using inPulse with?

Hi Eric,

Yes, I tried resetting the watch and restarting the upload procedure atleast 3 times without success.

I intend to try the Linux procedure this weekend.

I am planning to use a Nexus S if I can get the firmware on the watch loaded.

Also, one question. While attempting to load the firmware, should I see a progress meter completing during the upload. All I am seeing is the sandclock and what looks like an empty progress meter below.

Thanks,

b.

Yes, the progress bar doesn't work yet when loading code from a computer...it will stay stuck until the transfer is complete. The watch will automatically reboot into the app as soon as it is loaded.
