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

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.
