ANT module mounting

[Nats]

Hello, 

    I am using dynastream module with nrf52832. I programmed the ant module with s332 hex file and the example of ant_io_tx of s212 arm5_no_pack as below,

Im facing following doubt,

          In the document its mentioned as

10. Mount a module with the ANT network processor firmware on an ANT USB interface board and connect it to the PC.
11. Open the ANTWare tool.
12. Configure Channel 0 as a Slave.
13. Set the Channel ID to “0, 3, 1”.
14. Open the channel with default values for all the other channel configuration parameters to begin the search for the other ANT SoC module.

How should i mount the ant module on USB? 

Should i take out the battery and connect remaining parts of the module(Bluetooth and Io board) onto the USB stick? or any other way?

If the above method is okay, then im having trouble pairing the channel. It says opening channel and then timeout. How should i pair? what other settings have to be changed?

I'm very new to uC programming , Kindly do help me.

Hi,

I assume you are working with the DK from Dynastream: https://www.thisisant.com/resources/ant-soc-module-starter-kit-manual/ 

From your description it may seem as the module that should be transmitting (master) is not transmitting, thereby ANTware doesn't display any data from the USB board. 

You may need to follow chapter 4 and 5 to setup a new transmitter.

If you have access to an nRF52-DK you may also setup that as transmitter:

1.   I have written the code of ant_tx_io in one of my modules,

2. But the manual says something regarding ANT processor firmware.

Im not following the instructions to connect USB interface. Should the USB board provided be connected to IO board and bluetooth module and then programmed with ANT firmware? Should i include the Soft device? How to program this?

Looking at your screenshot again, I can see that the master channel is setup with channel ID 34,1,1 and the slave channel is setup with channel ID 0,3,1. This won't work, on the slave channel try channel ID 0,0,0 or 0,1,1.

How should USB part of the ANT module (the one with the ANT processor firmware be mounted)
