ANT Forum

Hi,

Looking for help regarding requesting a specific data page. I looked at a similar thread but it was only of partial help: https://www.thisisant.com/forum/viewthread/3593

I have a cadence sensor that i am scanning for using a channel (0 in my case but could be another just as well) configured with wild cards. when i get a response i close the channel and open a new channel using the proper device and transmission ids to get a direct connection. i then send a request for page 80 using page 70 and the sendAcknowledgedData method. i am not getting a response.

i understand that not all devices will necessarily report back with a reply so i tried this out with an FE-C and it did work with that, that documentation specifies that page 80 is to be supported. so, that tells me that my code is very likely correct.

back to the cadence sensor, looking back at the documentation i see that page 80 is not even mentioned so i tried requesting page 2 since that is a supported page according to the documentation (as is support for page 70). again, no response.

two questions...is this supposed to work with a cadence sensor? and is the page request limited to pages 80, 81, etc or will it work with any page that the ant+ device supports according to its documentation?

coding in .NET if that matters and having .FUN doing it.

thanks,

thank you for your response.

In my reading of the speed/cadence sensor document (D00001163) section 6.4 does not strictly indicate that this is an optional page. of course, it also does not indicate strictly that it must be supported either.

for future reference to this and other documents can i take it for granted that if some feature is not strictly optional or required to mean that it is optional? For instance, in the same document section 6.3.6 is clearly marked as optional while section 6.3.4 is marked as required.

thanks,
scott
