Bluetooth (BLE) Enabled Devices
Using a
Bluegiga BLED112 USB dongle you may connect and use your Bluetooth heart rate, speed/cadence, and VO2 Master devices with PerfPRO. This USB dongle is required even for those with bluetooth built in to their computer.
Please visit the
Silicon Labs website to purchase a BLED112 dongle. You may also
visit Digi-Key, their purchasing/shipping options may be better depending on your location.
For those with dual bluetooth/ANT+ sensors, we suggestion pair up the ANT+ signal rather than Bluetooth. The BLED112 dongles are limited to eight (8) devices whereas ANT+ is limited to around 60-80 devices, depending on the level of intererence.
PerfPRO Studio supports the following Bluetooth sensors:
-
Heart rate straps/sensors. For those of you that do not have a dual Bluetooth/ANT+ sensor, PerfPRO can pair up with your BLE-only heart rate strap. Heart rate straps like the Polar H10/H7/H5 may now be used with PerfPRO.
-
Cadence, Cadence/Speed, and Speed sensors. These sensors all broadcast the same BLE service.
-
VO2 Master. VO2 Master is the world’s first wearable, affordable, and easy-to-use VO2 monitor. Please visit their website for more information and how it can be used with PerfPRO.
