ANT Forum

Hi,
I'm trying to communicate between a PowerTap SLC+ and a desktop application using ANT+. (GARMIN ANT USB Stick)

I have downloaded several applications on thisisant.com ( ANT Display Simulator, ANTWareII, DEMO_NET ).

My goal is to write an application in C# to make this communication work.
I tried with the DEMO_NET application but still receiving nothing.
With the Display simulator, I receive my datas...

I am assuming that this is a configuration issue. I got the DeviceNumber, the DeviceType and the Transmission Type with the Display Simulator and used them in the DEMO_NET but still receiving nothing.

I am using the default network number (0) but I don't know what network key to use. Do I have to use : 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0 ? (by the way is this the public network key ?)

Please help me out.      

you need to use the ANT+ network key (available to ANT+ adopters)...

the 0x00 etc is just a place holder in the code... this is why you cannot receive the data - the network key is not set... the ANT+ display simulator sets the network key, which is why you receive the data in that case...      

Hi, thanks for your answer,

I already tried with the network key found in the adopter zone. But still no communications.
Does the informations like DeviceID, DeviceType, TransmissionType retrieved in the DisplaySimulator by pressing the GetID button are correct ?      

Device type, transmission type are defined in the ANT+ Bike Power device profile... download the profile from the ANT+ adopter zone.      

I figured out.
The problem was on the Frequency used in my app.
Thank for your help.
