Cross platform Data downloader and viewer for Swimovate PoolMatePro swim watches for Linux and Windows.

Overview of the user interface Overview.pdf
This is a cross platform driver and viewer application for the Swimovate Poolmate Pro swimming watch. The poolmate dongle is actually a TI3410 USB-serial interface. There is already a kernel driver for the TI3410 - ti_usb_3410_5052 which could probably be used instead. However trying to get it working just resulted in failure to download firmware errors, despite pointing it at the right firmware from the windows driver. Also the linux driver doesn't seem to detect when there are two configurations (i.e. the firmware is already loaded) and just select the second without attempting to download. Therefore.... for now will stick to the simplistic included userspace USB driver instead although now changed to just dump down the raw data so might add an option to download from a ttyUSB device instead just incase I get the serial driver working. The data protocol is pretty straightforward, the watch just serially dumps a binary representation of its contents when it's placed onto the dock.
For a Poolmate Type A pod the ftdi_sio driver can be used however the dongle won't be detected until the vendor id's are sent to the driver such as:
$ modprobe ftdi_sio
$ echo 0403 8b30 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id
To make this persistent add a udev rule such as:
/etc/udev/rules.d/99-ftdi.rules
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403" ATTRS{idProduct}=="8b30" MODE:="0666"
ACTION=="add", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0403", ATTRS{idProduct}=="8b30", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe ftdi_sio" RUN+="/bin/sh -c 'echo 0403 8b30 > /sys/bus/usb-serial/drivers/ftdi_sio/new_id'"
For the original non-type A pod, the application uses libusb to talk directly to the device, make sure that you have permissions for the device with a udev rule such as:
/etc/udev/rules.d/51-poolmate.rules
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb" ATTRS{idVendor}=="0451" ATTRS{idProduct}=="5051" MODE:="0666"
Note - the Linux binary installs currenly just install the executable "poolview" in /usr/bin no desktop or menu item is added. This will change at some point.
