Hello at all,
I am a beginner and a little confused / overwhelmed by the options. Let me first describes the goal.
As a new developer I want to connect a HRM with the PC USB Interace board + AP1 module. As 1. step, using the ANTware, I established a connection and received the right data: fine, so it works the easy way.
The 2. step is to develop a simple PC application, again using the PC USB Interface Board + AP1 module, to receive the data from the HRM.
As 3. step I want to extend the software running on our MCU to receive and store the data from the HRM.
I have seen sample applications and sources: A sample applications for the VC++ in the ANT DLL folder, an ANT_Windows_Library_Package and an ANT+ Device Profile inc. src code for the HRM. I also installed the MS VB 2008 Express Ed.
Now my question is how to start and what to do for the 2. step? (kind of sequence of tasks)
If I try to import the project file from the sample application for the VC++ in the ANT DLL folder into VB it tells me to convert it to the actual version and after doing that it cant load the project...:(
The C++ sample application for VC++ can be used as an application to receive data from a HRM using the PC USB Interface board + AP1 module?
The C Device Profile source code can be used as an application for the MCU?
When do I need the ANT_Windows_Library_Package?
I am very thankful if anyone could help me starting with a little introduction and some instruction!!!
Thanks a lot!
