Feature Request Custom data field / CGM Data
Not planned
I am not sure what is the official way to enter a feature request but I would really like to ask for one. It has been asked at https://support.hammerhead.io/hc/en-us/community/posts/4414700476315-Side-Load-Blood-Glucose-apps- already but maybe it was overseen.
Garmin has the connect IQ SDK which is very nice, maybe too much for hammerhead to do, but I would really like to have the possibility to have a custom data field that can display data scraped from some URL or a different app.
The actual requirement for me and fellow diabetics would be to display the Blood glucose values on the unit like it can be done via the xdrip+/spike data field on garmin via connect IQ.
I managed to side load xdrip+ on the karoo so the values are already available on the karoo unit and could be extracted by connecting to an http url. No need for Hammerhead to get involved in FDA approval or some such as long as you just offer a possibility to extract data from a web url (of course, incorporating our own code would be even better, but probably too difficult to be worth the hassle).
Is there any chance? Not sure what other custom data fields would be interesting (runtime of bike lights maybe?) but the CGM data would be good for all diabetics and I also know from athletes that have no illness of this type who want to track their blood glucose with Dexcom sensors or similar hardware so they get warned before they get hypoglycaemia

@Moojuicenooats please email me (support@glucoroo.com) or use the "contact" form on my web site (https://glucoroo.com/contact/) with details, and I will make sure you have the latest beta release and happy to help troubleshoot any problems. Also I would love to hear any feedback or suggestions you have. Happy riding!

@Simon Pickering this actually supports
- the Dexcom "Share" API, the Freestyle LibreLink API, the Nightscout API ...all of which are web servers accessed over the internet
- ALSO supports a local Nighscout API (xDrip or Juggluco, and in principal any other similar service). i.e. xDrip offers an "Open Web Service" option that allows local network access to your CGM data by opening the internal server to other network interfaces. GlucoRoo can use this as well. It requires you to either run a wifi hotspot on your phone (easiest, but uses more battery) or set up a bluetooth "personal area network" which is technically trickier, but works and uses less battery.
Contact me if you want to try it out.

GluKaMon (formerly glucoroo) is now out of beta and free. Full description of it on the web site: glukamon.com
Highlights:
- K2 and K3 Support — Works on both Karoo 2 and "New Karoo" and works over any network connection available (internal SIM chip or tethered to phone)
- 48 customizable data tiles across eleven categories — Visualize your data how you prefer
- Four CGM providers supported — Dexcom Share, FreeStyle Libre (via LibreLinkUp), Nightscout, and xDrip/Juggluco (local connection). Nighscout/xDrip support means it works with pretty much any CGM on the market
- Three time periods — most tile families come in 1-minute, 5-minute, and 15-minute variations
- Configurable glucose zones — set your own Very Low / Low / Target / High / Very High thresholds
- Visual and audible notices — when your glucose enters a new zone, with tones tuned to both Karoo 2 and Karoo 3 speakers
- Dark and light mode — follows your Karoo's system theme automatically
- mg/dL or mmol/L — pick your preferred unit
- FIT-file recording — glucose values embedded in your ride file for post-ride analysis in tools like Intervals.icu
- 10 languages — All 10 Karoo supported languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese
- Battery-aware design — three polling modes (1 minute, 5 minutes, or Dynamic, which dynamically adjusts based on the rate at which glucose readings are seen)
- Robust Recovery — Designed to detect and recover common CGM and network errors
- "Local" Support — GluKaMon can connect to xDrip and/or Juggluco running either locally on your Android phone (via WiFi hotspot) or sideloaded (i.e. sideload xDrip on your Karoo) so you can monitor your glucose even where there is no internet connection

That looks really cool! From the website I gathered that you need a phone connection - does it also work when xdrip+ runs (sideloaded) on the karoo itself? This would be really cool, because it would mean not phone needed.
Oops, sorry - I somehow skipped the last part of your posting, looks like it would work. I need to try it!

Hello guys
I m terrible at it ... Would it be at least possible to have a native box of data just reading the local broadcast of xdrip (on the phone) like it s done with a wear watch (gluco data handler) ?
That would be fine ar least
But something without having to sideload whatever stuff ... ? -
@schmadde you need an internet connection of some kind (wifi, SIM in your Karoo, tether to your phone) unless you run xDrip (or Juggluco) on either your phone or sideloaded on your Karoo. GluKaMon can connect to sideloaded xDrip/Juggluco, to a "local" xDrip/Juggluco running on your phone (using a wifi hotspot on your phone), or over the internet to any of Dexcom/Libre/Nightscout/Gluroo.
@Benoit Morange, yes you can connect via WiFi hotspot to the local broadcast of xDrip on the phone.
