Connectivity - Hammerhead Karoo and CORE sensor

The Hammerhead Karoo bike computer with up-to-date firmware can connect to the CORE sensor and display real-time core body temperature and skin temperature metrics on-screen and record the metrics to the FIT file. At present, TrainingPeaks cannot display core or skin temperature metrics from activities recorded using the Karoo.  

Set-up on the Karoo

STEP 1 - Pair Heart Rate Monitor

Pair your Heart Rate Monitor to your CORE.
This is essential for using the CORE sensor for sports for the best accuracy.

STEP 2 - Pair the CORE sensor and Karoo 

A. Inside the Karoo bike computer, on the Home screen, click on the "Apps" button.

B. Click on the "Sensors" app and select "+" to search for nearby sensors.

C. The CORE sensor is usually quickly found, select it it and then click "✓ " button to complete pairing.

A green confirmation screen confirms this step is complete

STEP 3 - Set-up the Data Fields

A. Inside the Karoo 2 bike computer, on the Home screen, click on the "Profiles" button.

B. Select an existing profile or create a new profile

C. Select the "Data" page and then click on the fields to change the fields.

Fields that can be added from the CORE sensor are:
• Real-time core body temperature
• Real-time skin temperature
• Average core body temperature
• Average skin temperature
• Maximum core body temperature
• Maximum skin temperature

D) Save the changes

The setup is complete

When an activity is started, the Karoo will connect to the paired CORE sensor and display the real-time data and record to the FIT file. 

Hammerhead also have a step-by-step guide for setting up the CORE sensor on the Karoo 2.
