Dear Members,

For scanning GSC10 sensor,

can this example be used ?

Garmin GSC10 , can I retrieve the information from it with ANT background scanning ?

How can I use this function ?

void background_scanner_process(ant_evt_t * p_ant_evt, void * p_context)
{
    uint32_t err_code;
    UNUSED_PARAMETER(p_context);
    if (p_ant_evt->channel != ANT_BS_CHANNEL_NUMBER)
    {
        return;
    }

    switch (p_ant_evt->event)
    {
        case EVENT_RX:
        {
            err_code = bsp_indication_set(BSP_INDICATE_RCV_OK);
            APP_ERROR_CHECK(err_code);

            if (p_ant_evt->message.ANT_MESSAGE_stExtMesgBF.bANTDeviceID)
            {
                m_last_device_id = uint16_decode(p_ant_evt->message.ANT_MESSAGE_aucExtData);
            }

            if (p_ant_evt->message.ANT_MESSAGE_stExtMesgBF.bANTRssi)
            {
                m_last_rssi = p_ant_evt->message.ANT_MESSAGE_aucExtData[5];
            }

            NRF_LOG_INFO("Message number %d", m_recieved);
            NRF_LOG_INFO("Device ID:     %d", m_last_device_id);
            NRF_LOG_INFO("RSSI:          %d", m_last_rssi);

            m_recieved++;
            break;
        }
        default:
        {
            break;
        }
    }
}

background_scanner_process(ant_evt_t * p_ant_evt, void * p_context)

What value should I enter in that (ant_evt_t * p_ant_evt, void * p_context) ?

Thanks

The defines (ANT_PLUS_NETWORK_KEY and ANT_FS_NETWORK_KEY) are required if you plan to support or develop an ANT+ profiles. You can find various ANT+ profiles on www.thisisant.com depending on the application.

If I want to see the value of Garmin GSC10 cadence and speed sensor, how can I retrieve it ? thanks

Hi Kenneth,

Please give me suggestion, which example should I use for scanning Garmin GSC10 ?

Thanks

It is not easy to provide a simple answer here, but here it goes:

Any of the master examples should show how you can scan for ANT devices, while ANT+ is "just" defined configuration and usage of an ANT channel. So if you know how to scan for an ANT device, then you can go to the ANT+ profile you are interested in to find the specific configuration you need to set for the ANT channel to "find" the ANT+ device you are in specific interested in. You need to register as an ANT+ adopter on www.thisisant.com to be able to support ANT+.

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for the reply,

................ So if you know how to scan for an ANT device, then you can go to the ANT+ profile you are interested in to find the specific configuration you need to set for the ANT channel to "find" the ANT+ device you are in specific interested in................

Which file should I change to configure my ANT code talking with my Garmin GSC-10?

What's the configuration (channel, frequency and so on ) for Garmin GSC-10 ?

Where can I find ANT+ profile I'm are interested in ,which file in code example?

...........................You need to register as an ANT+ adopter on www.thisisant.com to be able to support ANT+...............

I have registered, what will I do from that registration ? I have put ANT key license on my code.

Thanks
