Hello to all,
any idea if it is possible to transmit the ANT+ of my android to a PC? (via USB for example)
So the idea is to use the android phone just like a ANT+ dongle allowing the PC to connect directly with ANT+ devices and saving the purchase of ANT+ dongle.
thanks guys.

While it is physically possible, it would take a lot of code to get working as none of the layers required exist (your phone would have to enumerate as an ANT USB stick, you'd have to map Android commands to the ANT Network Processor Interface, etc).
