Darren Hague did a project to use Python with a Raspberry Pi and ANT+ stick to read bicycle speed and write bicycle power. You should be able to use it as a template to read sensor data by reading the ANT+ HR profile spec and adapting the SpeedCadenceSensorRx.py code to suit.

What the simplest database to use with both Python and Matlab?

Python as an alternative to Matlab, Windows to Pi with python, for a direct data access without using the web

Use the example code of Reto for this

This instruction should also work without ethenet cable

Here is the definition for "nerd" google translate gave to me

"a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious"

Me personally, I would not choose "nerd" as part of my nick name on my Github.

I think Raspberry Pi zero W is a good platform to develop live stream applications. It it possible to have a live stream to Matlab or Python via MQQT. A Raspberry Pi zero W with a 4400 mah battery is not much larger than a smartphone, and battery live is about 22 hours.

"I did some calculations and research and got at least 22 hours. According to https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=127210 with a 32GB SD card, composite video and a keyboard, the highest power consumed was 140mA, and with a 4400mAh battery, that's about 22 hours."

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/56455/raspberry-pi-zero-battery-life-with-4400mah-battery

And after a developing period on Matlab or Python, it should be possible to develop everyting to run on the Raspberry Pi zero W, and use it as a standalone device.

Mosquitto ( open source message broker that implements the MQTT protocol) can run on a Raspberry Pi:

There is no example how to stream ANT+ sensor data live to Matlab or Python to this date:

What you need for this:

1. Example code from Reto:

https://infinityflow.ch/raspberry-pi-ant/

2. install a MQTT brocker on the Rasperri:

https://mosquitto.org/download/

3. Connect to RPi 3 ad-hoc network from windows PC:

https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/70621/connecting-to-rpi-3-ad-hoc-network-from-windows-pc

4. Connect to Matlab MQTT:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/300785-does-matlab-support-mqtt

5. connect to Matlab example code:

https://youtu.be/Ercd-Ip5PfQ

6. Or connect to Python MQTT:

https://pypi.org/project/paho-mqtt/

7. connect to Python example code:

With the above instruction, a Rasperry PI zero, a 4 800 mha akku which lasts up to 22 hrs, a bluetooth keyboard and this display (the display also has three hardware buttons and a joystick, you don t need urgently a keyboard)

you can build your own watch with your own operating system, which fits for your needs

In the Maltab community, someone threatens to delete all of my posts which do not relate to Matlab:

In the Garmin community, someone already deleted my posts without giving any reasons in the forum

For all those facing the same problems I have, there is also a remote desktop solution for the Rasperri PI in Python:
