ANT Forum

Does anyone have experience collecting data from a power meter and speed sensor using a NI MyDAQ? I should use this particular board if possible per professor requirements.) I've explored some 3rd party Labview add-ons that allow me to setup ANT sensors but I need some practical examples to see how other people did it (I'm a mechanical engineer, not a programmer by nature.) The end goal is also to collect environmental data and thus create a live CdA estimate for a cyclist to use while riding.

My main questions are..
1) Is this project possible with a NI MyDAQ Board? if it is possible with an Arduino and easier then I'm willing to switch to a different DAQ method, but my Professor said that I may lose some points.

2) What sort of ancillary hardware would be required for a MyDAQ to read from a ANT+ device (I plan on using a Stages Left Pwr Meter and a Wahoo Speed Sensor)      

I prefer to play computer games with smooth and continuous gameplay, this is especially important when the visuals are beautiful and immersive. I recently read https://mountainbikeeagle.com/why-is-my-gaming-laptop-so-slow-uncover-the-secrets-to-speed/ about how even high-end laptops can become stuttering over time with demanding games and the focus on upgrading RAM and cooling systems to maintain high performance helped me.
