ANT+ (or ANT) example?

Hi,

I got 2 Puck's and a Garmin smartwatch. Both can use BLE as well as ANT. There are unfortunately no examples for ANT or ANT+.

Does Espruino support ANT or ANT+ in any way?

If not, I'll have to go the BLE route it seems.

Hi,

Espruino doesn't support ANT natively at all I'm afraid, however the softdevice used on Espruino does, and @ConorONeill had done some work compiling a custom firmware that did some stuff with it I believe?

But if both support BLE, I'd strongly suggest using that instead - it'll be so much easier for you to use and debug the communications with it, since you can use phone apps like NRF Connect to easily show you info about the devices.

Unfortunately I got distracted with building Espruino on Particle Xenon and never got back to looking at ANT+, sorry :-(

Thanks! I'll heed Gordon's suggestion and use BLE instead then. Especially since Conor didn't work on ANT either.
Works for me. Thanks to both of you for the very quick reply!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
