ANT Forum

Hello everybody

I have just received my USB-m keys and beginning a new Android app development ...

Has someone already developped some code for geocache profile ? I would like to share some code or dev feedbacks for chirps ....

Waiting for your replies !

Best regards

     

Hi,

The Geocache Device Profile has been implemented into the ANT+ Plugin Android API which includes an example app of it's use. Hopefully some other developers might be able to input their experience with it soon, it was just released.

You can find the API on the Downloads page.

Cheers      

New tests .... but still not satisfactory ....

First test
0. Connexion of ANT-m USB key : USB service launch is proposed / confirmation by OK
1. Launch of ANT+ PLugin manager / click on Geocache Utility : No devices found

Second test
0. Connexion of ANT-m USB key : USB service launch is proposed / confirmation by OK
1. Acquire channels Ant sample : click on "Open new channel" with Rx -> #2 Rx:[105], #3 Rx[....
2. Launch of ANT+ PLugin manager / click on Geocache Utility
GeocacheScanner : searching
<Invalid>
11348

So, in the second test, I managed to acces to USB Ant-m key, but it seems that my chirp gives bad info. Important : this chirp is new and has not been programmed yet . Is this normal ?

Is there any Android app to configure full new chirp ?



     

No one to give me an answer ??

The meaning of "invalid" in the geocache plugins is defined in the Geocache Profile Document available in the downloads section of this website. 'Invalid' doesn't mean the chirp itself is invalid, but that it has been programmed to display the 'INVALID' ID token.

Using the plugin sampler (or the geocache plugin with another app) you can connect to this device and program it with a new valid id. To do this with the plugin sampler, click on the invalid entry to connect to the device and download the existing data, then click the 'program device' button to set a new user id.

OK using the plugin sampler, I managed to access to the chirp data ... I did not realised before that clicking on the chirp list give access to the chirp data .... it is ok now, I have changed with my own data.
