ANT+ Examples with ANT+ Peripherals

This is a really basic question, but please bear with me. This is my first time foraying beyond the world of Arduino! :)

I'm attempting to make an ANT+ bicycle power meter with the NRF52 DK. I want it to receive data from a Garmin GSC10 ANT+ bicycle speed/cadence sensor, and ultimately transmit power to a Garmin Edge 510. I've tried a couple of the ANT+ examples so far and am successfully able to see data printed to Putty via UART. I see that you can also use these examples with ANT simulation tools.

When I turn on my Garmin 510 and search for a power meter, nothing is found. Are the examples supposed to work directly with ANT+ peripherals? If so...

  • Where do I set the ANT network key? "ANTPLUS_NETWORK_NUMBER"? I have the ANT+ network key from thisisant.com. Do I need to define all of the ANT+ network keys (8 hexes), or just pick one?
  • Does it matter what I set for BPWR_CHANNEL_NUMBER?
  • Is there anything else I need to set?

Again, sorry for the super basic questions. Any help is greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction.
