Could you build this?
Partial The browser dashboard is standard web development, but parsing raw Bluetooth Low Energy GATT stroke and force curve characteristics from a Concept2 PM5 requires hardware protocol specification adherence.
What it would actually take: The app relies on the Web Bluetooth API to connect to the PM5's custom BLE services. The core technical hurdle is parsing Concept2's proprietary GATT services (specifically Service 0x0030 and its stroke/force curve data characteristics), unpacking packed byte arrays containing fractional force coordinates and instantaneous flywheel metrics, and plotting them in real time without dropping frames.
