Hi Folks - Im looking for an app (windows) that will allow me to display Ant+ data in real time on my computer screen. Preferrably one that can connect multiple devices at the same time ((cadence, HR, PM) and maybe even a second PM. ) by connecting an edge unit to an Ant+ stick.
ctANT+ will do cadence, speed, HR and power. Albeit only one sensor of each. You'll need an 8 channel ANT+ stick (version 2) to stream all four concurrently.
I've used it for a couple of years and think it is great. Its primary purpose is to inject the ANT+ datastreams into a Computrainer setup but it does have a nice discreet but functional PIP element.
I don't see where the edge unit comes into this as its just a head unit.
A mcGuiver solution would be a web cam pointed at your Edge 500 and have that PIPLooking for something that is user friendly (Golden Cheetah doesnt fit the bill)
I've also used this for years and found it reasonably user friendly. What aspects don't fit the bill?The goal is to display Ant+ data as a PIP , with the PC connecedt to an external LCD screen via HDMI.
Whats in the main picture?
There are plenty of solutions for PC + ant including some epic HRV stuff.Some of the Ipad apps would do the trick to get real time numbers on a bigger screen with the wahoo fitness dongle, but the dongle means you cant connect ipad to an external screen...hmmmm
Galaxy S4 can do full ANT+ without using up its port #properPhoneTunney probably has he own home made solution. He's like a modern day Graeme Obree
I do have a number of different solutions
ctAnt+, GC, Android apps, Kurbios, loads out there.
For me if I wanted PIP of Ant+ data while watching films, sufferfests, whatever I'd use ctAnt+0 -

ctAnt+ could be a goer, must use the trial over the wekeend.
Golden Cheetah wasnt for me, I tried a previous build on an old MAC OS, and for some reason I couldnt get the install to complete, seems there is an installer for windows so might try that on the new windows machine.
Should have clarified - Edge unit is only used for recording and has want have anything to do with displaing data on external vdu.
Main picure could be anything, from sKy input ,roku box, xbox etc
With all this said, I like the mcguiver solution!0 -
