      <title>Simulate Temperature</title>
      <link>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/9448/</link>
      <guid>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/9448/#When:17:29:10Z</guid>
      <description>Is there anyway to simulate Environmental factors like Temperature (like the data you would get from a TEMPE)?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I&apos;ve tried a few versions of Simulant and didn&apos;t see an option, but wanted to see if I was missing it.  </description>

      <title>FE&#45;Capabilities to set maximum resistance is not working in SimulANT.</title>
      <link>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7675/</link>
      <guid>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7675/#When:09:27:10Z</guid>
      <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
I want to set the maximum resistance of my bike trainer via  data page 54 (0x36) known as FE&#45;Capabilities.&lt;br /&gt;
To get familiar, I decided to use SimulANT tool, and set the maximum resistance by  (bike trainer FE&#45;C) device profile. (See attached picture).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem I have is that setting different maximum resistance is not affecting the bike trainer.&lt;br /&gt;
To test it, I set at first a 40% of maximum resistance via the basic resistance (data page 48 (0x30)), and then I changed the maximum resistance from 1 to 10000 and there is no feeling of change in the resistance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you have any idea how this work,&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks for any guide,&lt;br /&gt;
Meysam.</description>

      <title>Geocache script error &#45; authentication</title>
      <link>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7656/</link>
      <guid>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7656/#When:17:11:38Z</guid>
      <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
I&apos;m testing my implementation handling geocaches. SimulANT fails to load the python script so I can test authentication. I get the following error &#45;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;1777810968 : Traceback (most recent call last):&lt;br /&gt;
  File &quot;C:\Program Files (x86)\ANT\SimulANT+2.11.0.Adopter\SimulANT+2.11.0.0.Adopter\SimulANT+\Scripts\GeocacheDevice\geo_DeviceAutoRespondToAuthRequest.py&quot;, line 23, in &amp;lt;module&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
ImportError: No module named hashlib&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Also, the simulator receives my request but no response is transmitted.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Any help appreciated. Best regards.</description>

      <title>Simulant+ not working / Broken version&#63;</title>
      <link>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7633/</link>
      <guid>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7633/#When:08:31:59Z</guid>
      <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I feel quite blonde but I downloaded Simulant+ from:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.thisisant.com/resources/simulant&#45;1/&quot;&gt;https://www.thisisant.com/resources/simulant&#45;1/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Unzipped it and run Simulant+.exe, however it directly throws an error (see attached image). Which is a bit non&#45;descriptive as it seems to access something I am not allowed to access. However, even running it as administrator does not resolve the issue.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is something broken in this version? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Semi&#45;unrelated question (not there to test it myself yet as the basics already do not function):&lt;br /&gt;
Is it possible to just get a list of broadcasting ant+ signals (power meter, cadence, heart rate, etc.) or does it need to be looked up by type separately?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hello!&lt;br /&gt;
Must be stupid because I can&apos;t find any info in the docs about how to add sensors. All I get is the screen attached with this post. &lt;br /&gt;
There are only three buttons visible: Refresh, Turn On, Turn Off.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nothing happens when I click on any of them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hi,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
while running the MD_0003 (channel period &#45; LEV Display to verify a LEV sensor) test  SimulANT+ crashes. After entering the device ID it says &quot;got device id &#45; expected channel&quot; and then just closes. All the other tests are running fine.&lt;br /&gt;
Any ideas on how to fix this?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
have fun.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>hi IM new here &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
looking for some option to collect ANT data from  LEV on Mac &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
the best would be to save it for future usage for simulation on developing fields for Garmin edge530 &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>ANT+ Protocol translator</title>
      <link>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7515/</link>
      <guid>https://www.thisisant.com/forum/view/viewthread/7515/#When:11:35:10Z</guid>
      <description>&lt;br /&gt;
Dear all,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I put you in the situation, hoping that someone knows a similar case and can help me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I am developing a project where it is intended to transmit the sensor data of an electric bike (cadence, power and speed) using the ANT + protocol and then use indoor training simulators (for example Zwift).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These sensors are connected by an ASI controller (Electric Motor Controllers | Accelerated Systems Inc.) and we know how to gather the necessary data through the controller. It is intended to use an Arduino board to create a message in the ANT + protocol and transmit it via bluetooth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At this point, I would like to ask you if you know of a similar case where someone intends to transmit data from bicycle sensors using the ANT + protocol. If you can help me, I would need to know what structure a complete ANT + message has. I have reviewed the profile of the sensors, but these are a bit complex to understand and I can&apos;t quite understand the array of bits that has to be transmitted and what each bit means. If anyone could help me understand this protocol structured by Data Pages, I would be forever grateful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I have SimulANT + and two USBs, with which I have tried to figure out how a message is structured, but to no avail.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thank you very much in advance, I hope someone has knowledge to help me a bit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Greetings,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Aba&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hi &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Is it possible too Save cadence and poweroutput data from a training session and then use this data like a script too produce realistic ”random” power and cadence Numbers?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If it does, how do i Save the data ?</description>
