ant_bpwr s212 ?

[RixtronixLAB]

Dear Members,

Can I merge the code from this example :

E:\nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\ant\ant_plus\ant_bpwr\bpwr_rx\main.c , it's using S212

with,

E:\nRF5_SDK_17.0.2_d674dde\examples\ant\experimental\ant_shared_channel\m2m\main.c

which is using S340,

What's the main different between S212 and S340 or it's compatible? I'm using nRF52840,s340,pca10056,nRF52840DK

Best regards,

Hi

You can see the main difference between the various ANT SoftDevices, and which nRF devices they support, here:
https://www.thisisant.com/developer/components/nrf52832/

The main difference between the S212 and the S340 is that the S212 supports ANT only, while the S340 supports both ANT and Bluetooth Low Energy, so if you want to run both ANT and BLE you need to use the S340. 

It should be possible to merge the two examples you mention, but I need to discuss this more with a colleague of mine more experienced with ANT. He should be back from holiday next week, and I will try to get back to you then. 

Best regards

Hi again

According to my colleague it should be possible to merge these two examples, but he recommended changing the ANT channel so that both of these don't use the same one. 

For instance you can make the shared channel use ANT channel 0, and the ant_bpwr use ANT channel 1.

Hi Torbjorn,

Thanks for the reply, and how can I use HRM which ANT channel should I use ?thanks

Hi 

If you already use channels 0 and 1 you can use channel 2 for HRM.
