Openambit stopped working with Suunto Firmware 2.0.9 about openambit HOT 10 CLOSED

Souds like Moveslink sends its version to the watch. Can you provide a USBPcap of a sync with Moveslink together with the output.log file in the Moveslink2 folder? What version does your copy of Moveslink advertise?

There are four hard-coded bytes of send_data in device_info_get() in src/libambit/libambit.c that I suspect of being some version number. They match the Komposti version that is in output.log of a USBPcap for my (still unsupported) "ancient" Ambit (firmware version 2.0.6).

Hi,

Yes, i attached the output.log file and the usbpcap-dump. There is a line
with Komposti v1.8.1 in the output.log-File, but this number didn't change
(if compared with an older output.log).

If I can assist in any way, please don't hesitate to ask!

thanks and best regards,
Peter

Care to tell me where those attachments are?
BTW, I just found out that GitHub issue attachment support, eh, sucks.

WRT to the Komposti version not changing, that's not unexpected if your Ambit works fine with the MovesLink on your Windows machine. It's the version that libambit is sending to your Ambit that makes it display that error message.
BTW, my logs have Komposti v1.7.17 and were only taken 2014-04-05.

oh, sorry, I have never used Github, so I thought sending an email with
attachments would update the issue and add the attachments. Obviously, I
was wrong, so here are the attachments:

Thanks!

A quick look at the capture and the log seems to confirm that the send_data bytes are indeed the Komposti version. However there is quite a bit of I/O in your capture that still needs reverse engineering. At this point I would not recommend just changing the send_data bytes in the openambit code. The capture shows that Moveslink is sending your watch some data and until we know what that data is and does making rash changes in the openambit and giving that a try might make your watch unusable.

@pgastinger, thank you for taking the risk, I haven't dared to upgrade until I got your pcap-dump :)

It seems quite safe to just change the "komposti-version" in the communication. Since openambit is not capable of writing any data other than the orbit data yet, the chances that we mess something up are quite slim. However, the day we start implementing writes, we need to have those major version bumps in mind!

To be honest, I was not aware of any risks. I read the Suunto changelog for
2.0.9 and thought it was just a bugfix version. I did not expect Suunto to
change anything and break the openambit syncability 😢
Anyway, I am glad my pcap-dump was of any value for you. I am willing to
try the changed komposti version, what exactly should I change?

Thanks.

Unfortunately Suunto seems to make some major changes every now and then. For the Ambit (1), they have changed the log format completely in the past (or at least they way it is read out)...

It should be enough to update to latest from master, I have already made the changes. Please remember to rebuild both libambit and openambit though!

svenstorp thanks for the patch.
If I run openambit as normal user it isn't working, but and gives this output:
QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
(Parent is QNetworkAccessManager(0x281ebf0), parent's thread is QThread(0x26b5f68), current thread is QThread(0x7fff78a90138)

If I run as su, it says syncronization complete and gives this output in terminal:
[root@ThinkpadX230 skinnie]# openambit
QObject: Cannot create children for a parent that is in a different thread.
(Parent is QNetworkAccessManager(0x8dddc0), parent's thread is QThread(0x7ac348), current thread is QThread(0x71f630)

Maybe something wrong in my installation?
Hope it helps and thanks for this great work

Here are my pcap (i wasn't really sure what usb to use, so took both) dumps and log, hope it helps:

@skinnie that is a known but possibly harmless issue #30
