Movesense 2.0 and iOS

Test Movesense using the showcase app

There is a Showcase app on AppStore - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/movesense-showcase/id1439876677 Links to an external site.

In the showcase app you can test your Movesense, e.g. display IMU data in graphs and update the sensor with new profiles and firmware (DFU files).

DFU files

The firmware for different Bluetooth profiles on the sensor is packaged into DFU files. Install (instructions below) Movesense-gatt_sensordata_app_w_bootloader.zip Download Movesense-gatt_sensordata_app_w_bootloader.zip. This DFU contains both the new firmware and the sensor data profile (do not unzip the file).

If you want to try other DFU:s, look at https://bitbucket.org/suunto/movesense-device-lib/src/master/samples/bin/release/ Links to an external site.

Upload and install a DFU

  1. Upload the DFU file (zip-format) to the iOS device.
  2. Open the Showcase app and install the DFU file following these instructions, starting from “Using Showcase app for DFU upgrade”, http://www.movesense.com/docs/esw/dfu_update/ Links to an external site.

Problems when updating DFU

If you have problems when downloading a DFU to your Movesense device, try the instructions at http://www.movesense.com/docs/esw/dfu_update/ Links to an external site., under DFU Recovery Mode.
