@geometry dash what do you want to say about this topic?      

I'm sorry i accidentally deleted my original post. In fact i'm trying to receive some output data from my eBike, which uses a Shimano SC-EM800. I know Shimano uses an Ant private network key and I'm not sure about using the right one.

However the main issue here isn't the key, but the remaining Ant specifications like the frequency, message type, channel period etc.

I'm working on a small lightweight application which uses this library:

https://github.com/purpl3F0x/go-ant

But i cannot get it to work, because it's not able to find any devices. I'm using an ant+ - dongle, which i ordered from amazon.

Hope someone got some information regarding this topic.

Hi,

To connect to the Shimano SC-EM800 via ANT protocol, you need to make sure that the parameters such as frequency, message type and channel period are configured correctly. Usually, the ANT frequency is 2.4 GHz, but you should check the Shimano documentation for more detailed information.

Also, make sure that your ANT+ dongle is compatible with the go-ant library. You can try using another app to check if the dongle works.

If you still have problems, check if you have enough access to Bluetooth/ANT devices in your system.

Good luck!
