SIVA

Overview

SIVA stands for Simple Interface to Visualize your Activities. It's also the French translation of VALIS, the title of a Philip K. Dick novel.

This program parses a *.fit file, and outputs a html file. It uses:

• fit-parser ruby gem for parsing
• flot JavaScript library for graphe rendering
• Leaflet JavaScript library for map rendering

WARNING

SIVA is still a work in progress. Keep a backup of your *.fit files somewhere else if you try this program.

Requirement

• install ruby with your package manager (tested with ruby 2.1)
• install the gem fit-parser:

# gem install fit-parser

Installation

Clone the SIVA repository:

$ cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/st3rk/SIVA.git

Clone the flot repository:

cd ~/SIVA/data/js && git clone https://github.com/flot/flot.git

Configuration

Edit the file ~/SIVA/bin/parser.rb, and modify the variable workouts_dir, e.g.:

# directory where the workouts will be saved
workouts_dir = "~/my_awesome_workout_dir"

Usage

~/SIVA/bin/parser.rb <fit_file> <suffix>

e.g.

~/SIVA/bin/parser.rb /mnt/my-file.fit Paris

This will create a directory named my-file_Paris in workouts_dir, containing all files needed to display the workout.

You can open workouts_dir/my-file_Paris/index.html in any modern browser (please avoid IE6).
