Glad it worked out and thanks for the feedback.

I just found out I had to give all the devices a unique device number. I don't know if this is the way, but it did help me. I can now add up to 8 channels. With 2 dongles I can communicate with 16 sensors, so for now it's working. Maybe in the future I will use the ANT shared channel example to setup a network.

I just did a quick test here and it seems like I'm able to open multiple channels on different frequencies at the same time. I have ANTware 4.1 installed. It could depend on the dongle you are using though. The new dongles that are based on the nRF24AP2-USB will handle at least 4 channels and potentially up to 8 channels.

I tried the multiple frequencies and channels. But is it true that ANTware II (v4.1) doesn't support multiple channels at 1 time? I only can open 1 channel at a time.

Thank you for your reply. I will try this.

Spacing them out across multiple frequencies and channels is the only way to do this. That way you would ensure that the different devices interfere as little as possible with each other. I would start with a few devices and expand gradually. That way you will be able to see when you setup starts running into issues on one frequency and can add an extra one.
