Enabling Screen Recording on the Wahoo ELEMNT ACE
Enabling screen recording on the ACE is faff-heavy but doable.
❗
Enabling screen recording requires the installation of third party software. These instruction are for the Mac. Proceed at your own risk.
Here's what you'll need:
- A Mac (Apple Silicon or Intel will do)
- The OpenMTP application
- A USB-C cable
First, install OpenMTP. This can be done in two ways:
- Download and install the appropriate Apple Silicon or Intel version of OpenMTP from the website; or,
- If you have
brew
installed, runbrew install openmtp --cask
which will download the application and install it for you.
Second, connect your Wahoo ELEMNT ACE to your Mac by following these instructions:
- Connect one end of the USB-C cable to an available USB-C port on your Mac and the other end into the USB-C port on your ACE. Turn the ACE on (if it is off).
Third, open the OpenMTP app from Applications.
- On the right-hand side you'll see the folders currently available on your ACE.
- Your only task is to create a new folder called
capture
.
Lastly, disconnect the ACE from the Mac, reboot the ACE. At the bottom of the Device Settings page on the ACE you'll have a new Screen Recording tool.
To extract recordings from the ACE, connect the ACE to the Mac, open up the capture
folder in OpenMTP, and then drag the recording from the right-side to the appropriate folder on your Mac on the left-side of the app.
