ANT Forum

Hi,
We plan to develop a product that supports both heart rate and SDM.
MCU: NRF52832
Is this achievable?
We don't see Demo code that is supported both profiles at the same time.      

Hi Rickon,

We don't support anything other than what you currently see on this site. I'd reach out to Nordic for support on their chipset, but there are examples for both those profiles in their SDK.

Best,
Harrison      

nordic tell me ANT+ is supported by you guys and you want me to get support from nordic, who do I go to for help.
The nordic sdk does have both demos, but they can't run at the same time! I want 2 in 1.      

Hi Rickon,

I understand the challenge, but there is not existing collateral which exactly matches your requirement here.

For your specific case, there is an SDK example for handling multiple ANT channels:
https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/index.jsp?topic=/sdk_nrf5_v17.1.0/ant_channels.html

While that demo doesn't explicitly include encoding data for each profile type, you have all the code there along with the ANT+ encode examples and the ANT+ Device Profiles to know what to do to create a dual transmitter.

For in-depth support of the nRF52832, Nordic’s team is still best equipped to assist further.


Best,
Harrison
