RE: Connecting 50 ANT(+) slaves to a single master

For this to work, I think ANT is a good suggestion, however I expect you need to look into the following:

1. The master node connected to the computer setup a shared channel setup with a 10ms interval, if there are 50 sensor nodes, then the master can ping them individually (bidirectional data) every 10ms*50=500ms. The master will use this shared channel to ensure to handle LED's back and forth between slave this way.

2. The master node enable a background search channel to be able to receive "sensor-triggered" events.

3. The slave can at any time enable a transmit channel to send a "sensor-triggered" event.

Best regards,
