I am looking at writing software for a Raspberry Pi (Raspbian OS) which reads data from ANT+ devices (heart rate and cadence monitors) and displays it on screen.
I know about the python-ant library (and it's many forks on GitHub), but I was wondering if there is a C/C++ API that will work on Linux.
I would also be very interested on the beta version of a Linux version of the AntLib.
We're working on an application in the agriculture area and have also the need for higher update speeds than achievable by the obviously well-known python driver (e.g. 50Hz). Also there's a need for multipe sensors...
Is there any chance to participate in an "alpha" driver test?
we're working on a new product and use the Raspberry Pi for sensor fusion; meanwhile we have a quite urgent need for a performant ANT driver for Linux.
Do you think it'll be still available in February? Just trying to figure out a solution...
Unfortunately not quite yet. I have a PI sitting on my desk just begging me to get back to it, but some other higher priority stuff has come up in the last few weeks. Soon! Thanks for being patient!
Hope it's not too late for us. I just wonder if Harrison has a link to something that could be of use.
Indeed we're looking for a Linux driver since mid of 2014...and I guess there's a huge market waiting.
