ANT Forum

Hello everyone, i have a personal challenge:
I have to create a system that receives an SRM (http://www.srm.de/product/powermeters/campagnolo/) (powermeter Ant +) and Garmin heartrate monitor for Arduino with an antenna ant + Suunto and then send to an android smartphone.

Thi´s possible create with api ant+ (by thisiant) and Arduino? It is possible to reference any example?

Thank you very much.
     

Hi,

Technically any ANT receiver can receive from any ANT+ device, there is no need to forward it to another device unless you're attempting to re-broadcast to increase the range, or you are trying to forward the data over another technology (WiFi, USB, Bluetooth, etc).

You will have to ask Suunto for their ANT network key as well if you'd like access to their wireless data.

There is an ANT+ API for Android, and an there are some examples on the internet of interfacing ANT modules with Arduino boards.

Arduino boards also vastly differ in capabilities, and some can even run Linux with USB Host, in which case you could use ANT USB Sticks instead. There are Python and Node.js libraries for ANT USB sticks as well.
