ANT Forum

Dear All
Could you help to give some guidence how we can use the currect ANT+ android SDK in our product?

So far we have a customize product which running Android OS and including a nRF24AP2 chip. Our goal is to using ANT+ technology to support some external ANT+ devices.

I've searched the forum and only see below link, but it's not the same with our case(Seems they're using a mobile phone which support ANT+ already).

Hi,

There are a couple solutions, the simplest one which doesn't require any coding(but requires a hardware change) is to use an nRF24AP2-USB and connect it over the USB serial directly to the chip so that Android can see it over USB Host. This will allow you to install the ANT USB Service, ANT Radio Service, and ANT+ Plugins directly from the Google Play Store.

For a high level overview of the Android architecture you may refer to slide 25 of this ANT+ Presentation.

Thanks for you quick reply.

But our hardware is already out. We're using an nRF24AP2 and using asynchronous port control(RTS). Could you give some suggestion for this way?      

Please take a look in your private messages.

I have the exact same question. We use the OPEN-Q 410 from Intrinsyc and a serial port to a N5 module.
