Description

A few years back, I invested in a concept 2 Rowing machine for @home fitness. It’s an excellent machine, but sadly the PM5 monitor that displays stats auto-shuts down immediately after I stop rowing which is super lame for logging workouts.

Todo

  • research how to change the auto-shutoff setting. Figure out if it can be powered from mains e.g. a dummy battery that plugs into USB-C? 💭

Note: the rower still works fine and displays stats while you are pulling, but the second you stop it resets. So there’s no chance of an interval-training workout.
