ANT Forum

I would like to know about the ANT+ and Fitness equipment control (FEC) of bike trainers. Can anyone guide me on how can I read data via the built-in ANT+ sensors in the trainer directly into a Unity environment, possibly by a C# or Python code?      

I created some NuGet packages and an open source project on Github that may be useful.
NuGet - search for "smallearthtech".

To read data from the ANT+ sensors in the trainer directly into a Unity environment, you will need an ANT+ USB stick to connect to your computer and an ANT+ library for Unity. There are some assets in the Unity Asset Store that claim to support ANT+ communication, such as Advanced ANT+, but I have not tested them personally. Another option is to use an older version of Unity that is only 32 bit, such as 5.6.7, and use the Windows ANT+ library from the downloads page.

Although I have not personally tested them, several components in the Unity Asset Store, including Advanced ANT+, make the claim that they support ANT+ communication. Using the Windows ANT+ library from the downloads page and an earlier, 32-bit version of Unity, like 5.6.7, provides an additional alternative.
