Introduction

This is the RoboStroke user guide. The latest version of this document is available here.

RoboStroke is an Android application for ​Rowing. An Android device with RoboStroke attached to your boat will monitor your stroke rate and boat speed.

RoboStroke UI showing 3 graphs:

Features

application UI presents the following visuals to the user:

  • Stroke rate
  • Speed
  • Distance
  • Elapsed time
  • Graphs:
    • Current/Stroke/Recovery? roll bar graph
    • Stroke power bar graph
    • Current stroke zoom graph
    • Stroke analysis graph
    • Continuous stroke graph

Device compatibility

Any Android device with accelerometer/orientation and GPS sensors, running Android 2.0 or later may be used. The application has only been tested on the Nexus One, though.

Limitations

RoboStroke performance and precision may depend on the strength and specs of the Android device it runs on. In addition, some of the graphs/views may not be viewable during an outdoors rowing session, unless the device has an exceptionally bright/large screen.
