ANT Forum

Hello

I wish to transmit my heart rate readings to my PC. Is there any free software to do this?

My devices are:

Cardiosport TP3 Heart Rate Transmitter
http://www.cardiosport.com/products.html

ANTUSB2 Stick

I have installed the drivers.

Many thanks

Sam      

""""I finally got some details on the ANT forum, which I will paraphrase here to my limited understanding level:

Some ANT USB dongles use a Nordic chip for ANT, but a separate chip for USB; that second chip either from SiLabs or FTDI, thus the possibility of using a VCP driver. Other dongles use a Nordic chip which has USB integrated, and that "requires writing code to interface with". This is the case for my dongle "ANT USB Stick 2", which uses the nRF24AP2-USB chip with USB integrated, that uses the driver libusb.

Thankfully, there are quite a few code examples for me to look at, in particular from the ANT developer site. If I get this to work, I'll probably post the code on the file exchange, but it could take a little while."""

Could someone help me with the code

Thanks      

Sorry about the late reply, but we don't have much experience supporting MATLAB here. We do have free and open source examples on the Downloads page for other languages and platforms. If you're looking for a programmatic way to pull in and decode HR data, I would say the easiest example to work with would be to look at the SimulANT+ Library Application Note for C#.
