How to read power phases from the power sensor in the DataField?

Hello,

Is the only way to read power phases from the power sensor (in my case Assioma Favero) is to read through the Ant + channel?

Regards,

Peter.

I found a solution and it may be useful to someone.

This is extremely simple, just in the extended BikePowerListener class, you need to take over the onMessage function and wait for the interesting data…

"Cycling dynamics" aren't available via the Monkey C api, so I think you would have to read the data via ANT+, like you suggested.

My only concern is whether if I open the ANT channel, I will not block the ability to read power data for the application.

To read the battery status from the HR strap I need to release the channel after the reading so that the rest of the app can access the heart rate data.
Of course, the channel cannot be reopened because it is occupied by the application.

Nice! Sorry I didn't have a better answer for you. The only app I've developed that communicates with sensors needs to support all devices (many of which do not support that type of sensor under consideration). So in that case, using anything but a direct connection would be a non-starter.

So I was totally on the wrong track.
