Guest PaulOBrien Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hey, you know that Wii Fit balance board you have under your sofa that your REALLY mean to use more often? Dust it off and connect it to your Android phone for a useful Internet connected scale. But how is this possible? In fact it's really easy thanks to an application called 'FitScales'. A free download from the Play Store, FitScales lets you weigh yourself using your Wii Fit balance board and automatically upload the results to either Fitbit or RunKeeper. Cool. :) You simply... Install the appLaunch the appSet your height etc. for BMI measurement and connect to your preferred servicesPress the red sync button on your balance boardStand off the board while it calibratesStand on the board and let it weigh you Easy eh? :) To check the accuracy I weighed myself on the board and then my Youw8 scales. As you can see below, exactly the same result. Impressive! :) Head on over to FitScales on the Play Store to get started. [Edit: It appears the application is NOT compatible with Android 4.2] Click here to view the item Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Fantastic ... well worth dusting it off for. Although I have some Withings Wifi scales, this is probably a better purchase for someone looking to sync their weight to fitness sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tone-fu Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Had a search and found that this isn't compatible with my Nexus 4. =( Shame really, was looking forward to giving it a whirl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bitbank Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Google broke/removed insecure L2CAP socket support in Android 4.2.x. Wiimotes and other Wii peripherals stopped working because of this. Tell Google to fix/restore this functionality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Soup Thief Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 Yeah - that's a big PITA. Stopped me using wiimote with GTA Vice City, which incidentally is currently on sale at Google Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
