This widget displays your parkrun id, barcode, name and emergency contact details (ICE) to allow for scanning after a parkrun. *** Now with QR code *** See below.</p><p></p><p>The barcode is scaled as large as possible for each device and parkrun id. It may seem small on some watches, but it should scan well in daylight. The smallest line of the barcode is just one pixel wide so it cannot be scaled larger as this would require doubling in size which would not fit.</p>
Change log:</p><p></p><p>1.3 - Add second screen with whole screen QR code which should scan better than the existing 2D barcode.</p><p></p><p>1.2 - Improve parkrun id validation to check for invalid characters like spaces.</p><p></p><p>1.1 - Increase the barcode size where possible. This will depend on the device and number of digits in the parkrun id.</p><p></p><p>1.0 - Initial release

Really good widget that means no more carrying your barcode. Works on the vivoactive 4.

Great practical easy to use widget when you go to your parkrun. Thanks for the QR code update. works like a charm when scanning with my iPhone.

Just downloaded the QR version. Looks amazing, worked first time and every time on the volunteer app. Look forward to using this Saturday at parkrun. Awesome widget. I’m using a garmin 945.

Didn’t scan at parkrun today on my 945. I did get it to scan on the volunteer app while at home after a few attempts. Love the idea off this widget. Hopefully can be enhanced over time.

Downloaded onto my Garmin Fenix 5s plus. Showing all the correct information but it won’t scan on my virtual volunteer app

Did you try this outside in daylight? The watch uses a transflective memory-in-pixel (MIP) display which relies on good reflected light. I have found that especially the iphone app does not work well in low light. It scans much better outside in daylight or under bright lights. You could also try the latest version which has a second screen with a large QR code which should scan much better.

Hi, there's been an issue I've noticed (I'm an Run Director at a parkrun) where it reads the barcode wrong. Today, for example, it read the runner's barcode as someone else (as in, it completely missed off the last digit so gave that position and time to another runner who wasn't there). So it seems to be missing digits (the barcodes were identical except for the one extra digit at the end). This has happened three times in three weeks now with different runners. Many thanks.

Did it read wrongly, or was their number entered incorrectly in their settings? There is a built in checksum, so it cannot just miss off a digit and most digits are encoded as pairs. If it read incorrectly, it's more likely to give something completely wrong, rather than missing off a digit. What I think is more likely is that the number was missing a digit when entered. If it is pasted, and there are spaces, due to the field size, the last digit could be missed off. What I can do is increase the field size, and then filter out any spaces to make this less likely to happen. Maybe you can ask these people to check the number showing on the screen is correct, and if it is, get them to scan themselves using the app and see if it reports the right number. I can be contacted with the contact developer link if more help or explanation is needed.

Worked on my forerunner 945 earlier this morning. So handy - great job

Hi, this is great. It takes a while to scan as it's so small. I understand you can't go wider due the the pixel scale, but can you make the barcode deeper (expand vertically)? - as trying to keep the watch and volunteer phone aligned so the red scan line stays in the bar code vertically is difficult.

Have the same problem with Paul Carson. It doesn't work on my son's 245 Music. But it works for my Fenix 6S Pro. Could it be some glitch or bugs that need to be addressed?

I just tried this on a 245 Music with the longest parkrun id possible so the barcode is at it's smallest, and it scanned easily. Not sure what more I can say. If you want to send me a clear photo of the watch showing the bar code, I'll take a look. Use the Contact Developer link.

Tried to compare it with barcode using virtual volunteer app on my phone. The picture in barcode is bigger and it makes easier to scan code. But I like that there is nessesary information in your app. Please make the picture of the code bigger!

The bar code cannot be made bigger. It's already as big as possible on every device. On most, the smallest line is 1 pixel wide, so to increase the size would require doubling in size which would be too bit to fit the screen. I am working on a version which will provide a QR code which should scan better on devices which can only display a small barcode.

Just installed and tested with the volunteer app. Seems to work perfectly. Any chance it could store more than one barcode so I could put the kids in as well?

Wouldn't scan on my forerunner 245 music at park run today. Too small.

It’s a nice idea but it doesn’t work on my Fenix 6S pro. I’m on a parkrun core volunteer team and testing this out on the volunteer app so I’m extremely familiar with scanning but it’s not working for me. My guess is on the small screen of the 6S is the barcode is too small and when I move my iPhone 11 closer to it then it’s too close for the camera to focus. Perhaps if the barcode code go across the middle of the screen rather than nearer the top then it could be bigger?

Success at parkrun this morning! Won’t be forgetting my barcode anymore

Great little app to have on my watch for days I forget my barcode, and I especially like the info that QR code development is in progress. Not sure how feasible it would be but one suggestion would be to have this as a ConnectIQ data field, allowing the barcode to be added as a page in activities so the current activity doesn't have to be stopped. I'm not quite sure if every compatible watch has the Resume Later function hence this suggestion. Great job!

Cannot get into the settings to set up the widget. Just a loading icon but nothing else. My watch is listed as compatible. Very frustrating

So good. Barcode could be a little bigger. I’d love to be able to have multiple barcodes so I can have the kids’ on my watch as well.

Great app and scans when I've tested it with the virtual volunteer app. Would there be any merit in using a QR code, would that enable it to be bigger and easier to scan? The app will scan QR codes.

That is exactly what I have in development. As a QR code is square it is best for it to take the entire screen, so will be displayed as a secondary screen rather than on the main screen which would not have space for the QR code and ICE information. The programming for a QR code is significantly more complex than the bar code as it includes error correction and redundancy.
