I would like to know if it's possible to use Curtis Malainey library (which implements ANT+ protocol https://platformio.org/lib/show/1879/ANT+) with a bluetooth module on Arduino .

It's because it's very hard to find a ANT+ radio module .

So the BT module and the ANT+ module are all used with the arduino through an uart interface (TX,RX), so it seems to be possible...

If it wasn't , where can I find some informations to inplement device to be connected with Zwift (a cadence sensor or a power sensor for exemple built on the arduino platform

Thank you for your help
Vincent

https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/view-all-components/ shows a list of radios that support running ANT. The Nordic nRF52 is the latest radio with support, and is often used in dual ANT and BLE designs.

ANT+ is a layer that sits above the ANT radio functionality to define the payload content.

I suspect that the library you mention interfaces with the ANT UART interface defined in the "ANT Message Protocol and Usage" document in the downloads section of this site. I would suggest you reach out to the creator with questions about the library.

If you are building a trainer to connect to Zwift this uses the FE-C profile. Modules such as https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/gfit/ greatly simplify the development of such devices.

Ik had een vrije ochtend na een bezoek aan de markt en wilde iets leuks doen. Ik zocht een site die makkelijk is en goede deals heeft. Ik vond een Nederlandse pagina, de spinmama casino, die mijn aandacht trok. Deze site uit Nederland heeft veel keuzes, met startbonussen en wekelijkse acties die het spannend houden. Er zijn speciale beloningen voor nieuwe gebruikers en programma’s voor wie vaak terugkomt. Alles is in het Nederlands, wat het gebruik makkelijk maakt. Het gaf me een leuke start van de dag.
