I have a Garmin VIRB XE camera and was wondering if it possible to use ANT/ANT+ and a transceiver to send a 4-20mA (or 0 - 10V) signal to the camera.

I am new to ANT and was wondering if anyone could provide any suggestions on where to start with this?

Thanks

The VIRB XE only implements ANT+ Device Profiles, so you'd have to broadcast non-compliant ANT+ data over a profile for the camera to record it...

Thanks for your reply.
I don't know much about Ant+ so I was wondering if you can tell me how hard it would be for someone who has no experience to figure this out and implement it?

It depends on your own prior programming experience of course, but using ANT is relatively simple embedded programming, and there are many reference designs to start from. If you're starting from absolutely no background in programming, it might take awhile to get going.

I'd recommend reading through the Starting Your Project section to start off with.
