I can connect with my bike trainer (Tacx Flow Smart) using ANTWarell if I input the relevant channel ID data but I cannot get a connection when using pairing and with channel ID data all set to 0. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?

Can you give more detail for what you mean by "using pairing"? If you are referring to the "Pairing" checkbox, then this is your issue. This translates to the pairing bit (bit 7 of the device type). This bit is not used by the FE profile. When checked, ANTWareII will only connect to devices broadcasting device type 145 (0x91). Therefore it will not find your trainer.

I recommend using SimulANT+ to connect to your trainer instead for most purposes.

Yes I was checking the 'pairing' box. Thank you for your help.

Did you manage to connect to the trainer? Does the same apply to my Elite Suito?

Thanks for the reply

For all ANT+ FE devices (all trainers) the pairing bit is not used.

SimulANT+ is recommended over AntwareII for ANT+ profiles for basic use cases since it handles the channel setup and data encoding and decoding.

The Elite Suito should work fine with SimulANT+.

The SimulANT+ download includes a user guide that walks you through all the steps. You are looking to add a "Fitness Equipment Display" simulator instead of the "Cadence Sensor" simulator added in the guide.
