I am using ANTWare II v4.1 and a USB1 ANT+ dongle. Is there a reason why the "Open Scan Mode" button is grayed out? Or what I need to do in order to enable it? I am trying to sniff the air between two ANT+ devices and am able to see the broadcast packets but the dongle is ACK'ing the burst packets I am trying to sniff.

Thanks. ]]> tag:https:,2022:/www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/.7601 2022-06-29T14:19:57Z 0 serhatg Hi there,

There is various non-Garmin ANT USB stick for general usage. Do those devices could be used with ANTWareII for development purposes. Couldn't find any Garmin Ant USB stick in the local market for a short time. ]]> tag:https:,2021:/www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/.7542 2021-07-20T20:10:31Z 0 Ali Al-Sheikh
Assuming there is a some standard format to follow, is there any source code or protocol specification documents that can help me format the data properly to talk to SimulANT+? I want to communicate with Zwift, and I am assuming that it follows the same standard, no? ]]> tag:https:,2021:/www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/.7495 2021-03-12T11:10:15Z 0 Luigi
For technical reasons about our chip, we need to implement some kind of "keepalive" service on a ANT+ device. So I had the idea of using 2 channels, one for transmitting and one for receiving messages on the same device.

BUT, using ANTWare II or SimulANT+ i'm not able to receive any message from the same device.

e.g:
On ANTWare II:
- Device A: Channel 0 - Master - Device Type 125 - Device Number 33 - Auto-Open
(Starts broadcasting 00-00-00-00-00-00-00-00)
-Device A: Channel 1 - Slave - Device Type 125 - Device Number 33- Auto-Open
(EVENT_RX_SEARCH_TIMEOUT... EVENT_CHANNEL_CLOSED)

Is this possible or is a software filtered issue?

I have query about ANT burst mode, I want to confirm that which mode of ANT BURST uses automatic retries and which does not. Here is a document which states ANT BURST uses automatic retires but it's not clear if this is classic and advanced mode of burst.

https://www.thisisant.com/resources/an04-burst-transfers/


Page 3/7:
In addition to the increased throughput advantage, ANT Burst mode uses acknowledged messages with automatic retries to ensure successful data transfer while maintaining a simple interface to the application MCU. As an exception however, single packet bursts are handled identically to an acknowledged message, and are not retried.

Can I use this usb stick with ANTWareII ?

EVENT_RX_SEARCH_TIMEOUT_0x01
:: 40, 07-01-01
EVENT_CHANNEL_CLOSED_0x07
:: 40, 07-01-07

Is what I'm seeing. What Channel do I set up the Slave on? Any ideas?

I would have thought this would have been a trivial task. ]]> tag:https:,2020:/www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/.7375 2020-05-29T09:49:22Z 0 sebin
Aim: I need to broadcast some dummy data over ANT.

I'm using a CYCPLUS USB dongle to transmit ANT packets in master mode (no receiver setup for receiving). But I'm unable to see any EVENT_TX logs generated from ANTWare II (v.4.1) as part of the transmission. This seems like very basic, am I missing something?. Thanks.

The steps I have done to setup is:
Connected CYCPLUS USB (auto driver install happened)
Opened ANTWare II and I could see the device listed on 'Available devices'
Assigned as Master in Channel assignment.
Auto-Open.

Note: It's always SlaveSearch~ID:0,0,0 in ANTWare II, no matter the mode (even if Master). ]]> tag:https:,2020:/www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/.7373 2020-05-27T13:54:16Z 2020-05-27T16:01:04Z YLM https://github.com/dhague/vpower/tree/acab2ec78e15851ba5a3a9176ff2177f02ed36fc (PowerMEterTx.py) I am trying to set the power with my Rpi on my Power Meter Bike using Ant+. I think I am doing something wrong with the python and there is probably something I do not get.

If I want to set the power to 300W I need to send this command in hex : 31-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-B4-04 if I refere to the doc.

Also Power Meter is device type 11. So using the code below I'd like to send my Hex code, but there is something I do not get with

update 

function. It looks like the payload is used to set the 8 values of my hex code, but I do not get how to change the code to set this 8 values. (31-FF-, etc...).If someone could enlighten me it would be great.

Someone know how to send this command using python code ?

Thanks
