Hi

I plugin ANT USB stick in my computer,and I try DEMO_ANTFS project to connect a device(Tanita BC-1000 Weight Scale), but I cant find the device.

Below is my host setting:

////////////////// Code in demo.cs///////////////////////////////////////////////////
        // ANT Channel Configuration Parameters
        // We define them here, since these must match between host and client for communication to work        
        
public readonly static byte SearchRF = (byte)ANT_Managed_Library.ANTFS.RadioFrequency.ANTPlusNetwork;  // Radio Frequency to use during link state
        
public readonly static ushort ChannelPeriod 8192// ANT channel period.  It should match the LinkPeriod below.
        
public readonly static byte DeviceType 119;         // Device Type (ANT Channel ID)
        
public readonly static byte TransmissionType 0;   // Transmission Type (ANT Channel ID)
        
public readonly static byte NetworkNumber 0;
        public 
readonly static byte[] NetworkKey { ANTPlus NetWorkKey };

        
// ANT-FS Configuration Parameters
        // These must also match between host and client        
        
public readonly static ushort ClientManufacturerID 11;  (tanita)    // ANT-FS Client Manufacturer ID
        
public readonly static ushort ClientDeviceType 119;        // ANT-FS Client Device Type
        
public readonly static ANT_Managed_Library.ANTFS.BeaconPeriod LinkPeriod ANT_Managed_Library.ANTFS.BeaconPeriod.FourHz
     
////////////////// Code in demo.cs///////////////////////////////////////////////////

     ////////////////// Code in demo_host.cs///////////////////////////////////////////////////

 
readonly byte ConnectRF = (byte)ANT_Managed_Library.ANTFS.RadioFrequency.Auto;  // Radio Frequency to use once a connection is established (set by host)
        
readonly uint ClientDeviceID 0;   // ANT-FS Client Device ID (Serial Number): Wildcard to match any client ID
        
readonly ushort DeviceNumber 0;   // Device Number (ANT Channel ID): Wildcard to match any client Device Number
        
readonly byte SearchTimeout 60;   // How long to search for a client device, in seconds

     ////////////////// Code in demo_host.cs/////////////////////////////////////////////////// 


what's wrong about my host setting?

Any suggestion for me?

Thanks.

Hi,

Do you have this working first using the Windows ANT-FS Host Client? The Tanita Scale does not broadcast until it has taken a measurement if I recall correctly as well.

Hi Harrison,

I have tried to use the ANT-FS PC Host to find tanita weight scale(BC-1000),but I cant find the tanita weight scale(BC-1000). Attachment is my PC Host setting. Could you check my setting if it is correct?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Sphoenix,

Your settings look correct to me. Other than contacting Tanita support, I would suggest using ANTware II and continuous scan mode to ensure the scale is broadcasting when you think it should be broadcasting. Are you standing on the scale while attempting to download a measurement?

Hello Harrison

I finally got it working. However, I am disappointed that Tanita only has BC 1000 broadcast weight only.

Following are answer from Tanita:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hello,

We only have the weight as an open protocol, the other measurements are closed protocol and we do not release that information. If you would like more readings you can use our BC-1100F(link below) scale which has 4 open protocol readings and was designed for developers.



Thank you
