Receive data from Garmin VIVOACTIVE remotely or via BLE (eg Ant +).

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hello!

I must say - I really have not programmed ...'ll be a little dull ...:confused:

Please tell me, is it possible to receive data from Garmin VIVOACTIVE remotely or via BLE (eg Ant +).

Data needed for output to the LCD panel.
So I can not use the mobile application.

I would be grateful for any ideas or tips.

Thank you!

Look at makeJsonRequest() and makeWebRequest(). You might be able to send the data to a website, and have the LCD hooked to that. You would be passing through the moble device to get to the inet.

It won't be real time if that's required

With BLE you can also take to an app on the phone (custom app), and with ant you can connect to a sensor. I'm not sure the va can act like a sensor.....

You can use the Generic ANT channel to transmit information over ANT.

You can use the Generic ANT channel to transmit information over ANT.

It still doesn't allow broadcasting as ANT+. If you try, you get the following error in the simulator.

Master channels on the ANT+ network are not allowed.

It didn't object when I made the Ant network NETWORK_PUBLIC instead of NETWORK_PLUS. I didn't test if it was actually broadcasting something in this mode.

I may have misinterpreted the inquiry. I see now the thread title says ANT+.

You are correct that CIQ does not currently allow transmitting on the ANT+ network. I think removing this restriction is being considered.

You can transmit data on a non-ANT+ public or private network.
