ANT Forum

Hello everyone,

As a first step I would like to know that I am completly new in Arduino, programming and even in electrinics. I would like record rear derailleur position with a help of an hall effect rotary encoder placed in the shifter, treat this analog signal with an Arduino and send this data to a Garmin Edge 520 thank to ANT+ protocol. Do you think that is feasible ?

Here the stuff I already have :
- Arduino UNO
- Arduino Mini Pro
- nRF25AP2 module
- Hall effect rotary encoder

Thanks a lot      

Feasible, but you'll need to learn quite a bit of programming. Also for the Edge 520, you'll probably want to pick up how to write Monkey C so you can publish your own app to Connect IQ.      

No reason not to implement the Shifting profile. it's one of the simpler ones and then you don't have to do anything on the Edge as I assume it has support for it. Still quite a challenging project for a beginner. You will learn a lot.
