Can't connect to Apex Pro

Help on issues you run into with LapTimer; in case you have a question on how to use LapTimer, use the forum "Using LapTimer" instead

Can't connect to Apex Pro

Post by rbpeirce »

It worked when I tested it at hme but at the track it just said searching. I am using the Kiwi device for OBD, and iPhone 8+ for HLT and the Apex pro, along with the app on the iPhone. I am operating with both the Apex Pro and the iPhone conn acted to power.

APEX Pro is a BT Low Energy device. I can't answer for sure, but most of these gadgets support one connection at a time only. So in case you see problems with a connect, check if you run some other app in background which accesses and blocks LapTimer.

Ah! The Apex Pro app is running in background. Thanks. I will test it by turning that off to see what happens and will post back tonight.

Yes. Killing the Apex Pro app makes the sensor available to HLT. Unfortunately, Apex Pro data also is important. If I really need more sample speed I will add a separate GPS device. In the past I've used HLT more for the videos than for the data. I'm just getting into data so that is changing.
