ANT Forum

Hello everyone,

I want to know, if I become an ANT+ member, Will I get more android APIs apart from ANT+ plugins.
As of now, we don't have APIs to set the channel ID and network key, Do I get any extra API access if I become a member?

Please reply as soon as possible.
     

All of the Android APIs are available to Adopters and do not require membership. So no, you will not get more Android APIs by signing up as a member.

If your objective is to create a custom ANT application (on a different network/ not ANT+) you should be using the ANT SDK. The ANT+ SDK is for use with the ANT+ device profiles and does not allow you to modify the network key and certain channel parameters to ensure interoperability with ANT+ devices.

Please refer to this link about the advantages of becoming an ANT+ member: http://www.thisisant.com/business/go-ant/levels-and-benefits/
     

Private Network Keys are generated and allocated by Dynastream. They require a fee.
