Does this program work with the new iFit Live treadmills? Just purchased a Proform Power 690 and it does not have an SD card slot, only an mp3 connection. Tried to copy workout from i2Workout onto cd and then using portable player to attach to treadmill but it didn’t work. Does anyone know if iFit Live works with chirp technology?

Linnea – replacing a treadmill motor isn’t that hard if you are somewhat mechanically inclined. Replacing a motor is easier then replacing a walking belt by far. Treadmilldoctor.com has provided me excellent service in the past for parts. Look there first for that motor.

Here’s a follow up to my experience with this software…I’ve been able to make CDs and try it out on my treadmill. It hasn’t been working. I did some troubleshooting and discovered a bad mini-jack connection where the cord plugs in. I removed the jack and found a bad metal contact, which I easily repaired and put back into service. I hooked everything back up and tried it again. It’s all now working. Cool beans. -Harry

Well I’ll be! Thanks for sharing this program. I have an old iFit treadmill that still works great. With this program, I can custom tailor my workout in junction with my heart rate monitor, without hitting them damn buttons.

Thanks!

Hello all…

Well, my old Ifit treadmill kicked the bucket. Have any of you ever changed your treadmill motor by yourselves? Is it hard to do?

Thanks for your help!

Suresh – PM me at jaredljensen(at)hotmail(dot)com, and I’ll send you the C# app. The new machines that use SD cards do not use chirp technology, so my app wouldn’t work with those. In other words, the new machines read a program from a SD card, whereas my treadmill interprets audio chirps it receives via the 1/8″ minijack audio input.

Jared – any chance you could send me the C# program? Also – do I interpret that it WON’T work with teh newer SD machines? or do the newer SD machines work too?

Thanks.

Steve, I ended up building my own app to control my iFit-compatible treadmill because I wanted finer control over it. I learned a few things in the process that might help you.

If your treadmill is the older style that uses an audio input like mine (as opposed to the newer ones that use an SD card), try adjusting the volume settings on the device you’re using to control the treadmill. If it’s too loud, the distortion might cause the chirps to be undecipherable by the treadmill.

Also, try using another computer or device to play the chirps. I found that my newer iPAQ had a “click” at the beginning of each chirp, most likely due to poor audio components, and wouldn’t reliably control the treadmill. However, my laptop and older iPAQ work great.

Good luck!

Carol,

I don’t know i you have recently checked the website of the i2Workout program. The app is now being offered for free (version 167) and comes with a free registration file.
