Depth

This is a data field for Garmin watches (Fenix, Epix, Tactix) displaying the current water depth.

See https://developer.garmin.com/connect-iq/connect-iq-basics/ for some information around how to set up the Garmin SDK, compile and run the app. The following is mostly a copy of one of the examples on the Garmin Connect IQ developer page.

Running the Program

You should be able to run the app from Visual Studio Code in an Emulator:

• Before running the program, make sure you have one of your source files (in the source folder with the .mc extension) open and selected in the editor.
• Select Run > Run Without Debugging (Command + F5 on Mac, Ctrl + F5 on other platforms)
• You will be prompted with the list of products your application supports. Select one from the list.

Side Loading an App

The Monkey C extension provides a wizard to help developers side load an application. The wizard will create an executable (PRG) of the selected project. Here’s how to use it:

• Plug your device into your computer
• Use Ctrl + Shift + P (Command + Shift + P on the Mac) to summon the command palette
• In the command palette type “Build for Device” and select Monkey C: Build for Device
• Select the product you wish to build for. If you are unable to choose a device for which to build (the menu appears empty), it means that there are no valid devices configured for your project.
• Choose a directory for the output and click Select Folder
• In your file manager, go to the directory selected in step 4
• Copy the generated PRG files to your device’s GARMIN/APPS directory
