Hello, I'm pleased to report ANT support for nRF52840 will be released alongside sdk-nrf v2.6. This version is currently being finalized by Nordic with a target date of March 14, 2024.

Q1? when does that end Kenneth? as a new user to Nordic devices (52840) the 5340 is overkill and expensive for mid tier consumer product im currently working on. just starting to get head round nrf connect/zephyr, and i dont want to backstep to nrf5, if is on the way out.

I assume Q1 is end of March 24?, Im not in the know of Nordic's financial Q1-Q4 year start/end dates if thats what your refering to, as an engineer.

Thank you for the clarification. It appears that a release for the sdk-ant library could be published in the Q1 of 2024 (source), I will track the new releases on the relevant website.

Hello,

As you have found ANT and ANT+ support is not yet available on the nRF52-series in the nRF Connect SDK (NCS), please reach out to www.thisisant.com to ensure they are aware of the demand for support also in NCS. I do believe they are working on this, but I don't know the timeline. For now only support for the nRF53-series is supported in NCS.

If you can't wait, then you must either switch to the nRF53-series and use NCS, or you need to use the old nRF5 SDK that have support for ANT and ANT+ for the nRF52-series:
https://www.nordicsemi.com/Products/Development-software/nrf5-sdk

Please read the statement about nRF5 SDK on the above page, since we strongly recommend using NCS for new development.

Kenneth
