ANT Forum

Hi everyone,

We would like to send data between two computers via ANT protocol. I tried to look for information about it but every information I found was receiving data from a device such as a heart rate monitor like this: https://www.johannesbader.ch/2014/06/track-your-heartrate-on-raspberry-pi-with-ant/

We have two ANT dongles below

Suunto Movestick Mini

Garmin ANT+ Stick (ANTUSB-m)
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CM381SQ

and we are thinking of using two Linux PCs with the dongles.

We are thinking of making a test program that one PC sends "hello" to another and another receives "hello"; that is, we want to make a chat program with ANT for testing. I would be really grateful if someone could tell me about a bidirectional example for ANT protocol.

Thank you,
Keisuke

Good day, is it possible to assist with info to link to my Suunto Quest watch with a Suunto movestick USB dongle?
