- ANT base interface.
- ANT-FS (with command pipe, file listings, downloading, uploading, etc).
- ANT+ device profiles and base class for custom ones (openant.devices).
- Four libs:
- openant.base basic ANT library.
- openant.easy blocking version using openant.base.
- openant.fs ANT-FS library.
- openant.device ANT+ like devices.
- Command-line tool
openant:openant scan: Scan for nearby devices and optionally print device data.openant influx: Stream device data to InfluxDB instance.
A note on ANT/ANT-FS/ANT+: this module is for development and testing of devices and not intended to be used as a reference. Refer to the thisisant.com website for full ANT documentation and ANT+ device profiles. The intention of this module is for quick R&D of ANT capable devices. In case non-obvious, this module is not an official tool.
- Python >= 3.8
Run pip install openant or pip install git+https://github.com/Tigge/openant#egg=openant for HEAD.
If using on Linux, a udev rule for the Dynastream ANTUSB stick can be installed with sudo python -m openant.udev_rules. macOS/Windows does not use udev_rules and therefore does not need to be installed. Follow libusb's driver installation instructions for Windows. macOS should work with just libusb installed.
A USB stick that provides a ANT node is probably required. Here are ones made by Dynastream (Garmin):
- ANTUSB2 Stick (0fcf:1008: Dynastream Innovations, Inc.)
- ANTUSB-m Stick (0fcf:1009: Dynastream Innovations, Inc.)
See the note regarding Linux and the udev rule above to ensure the user has permission to run this module without elevated privileges.
Requires install with [influx] (pip install openant[influx]) or influxdb-client module installed manually and InfluxDB server >= 2.0. See openant influx --help for the server setup. To quickly get a local instance running with Docker:
docker run --rm -p 8086:8086 -v $PWD:/var/lib/influxdb2 influxdb:latest
Navigate to 'http://localhost:8086' and setup a user/org (default org used is 'my-org'). Then setup a bucket to use (default 'my-bucket') and a API access token (Load Data > API Tokens).
Explore the examples in './examples', and docstrings within module code. Further documentation to be developed in './docs'.
Accessed from module binary openant. Logging output can be enabled using the --logging flag.
Scan for nearby devices, for example to obtain device IDs. Can search for specific devices --device_type or all. Found devices can be saved to file with --outfile.
# print devices found to terminal
openant scan
# capture devices found to devices.json for use with antinflux
openant scan --outfile devices.json
# instantiate object when found so that device data is also printed
openant scan --auto_create
Stream DeviceData from a ANT+ device to a InfluxDB instance. Useful for plotting real-time data and for post review. See openant influx --help. See the notes on installation for this tool. Refer to the InfluxDB documentation for the required flags.
# attach to first trainer found and push data to localhost InfluxDB
openant influx --verbose FitnessDevice
# attach to power meter with device id 12345 and push to localhost InfluxDB
openant influx --id 12345 --verbose PowerMeter
# attach to devices in 'devices.json' - allows connection to multiple devices
openant influx --config --verbose devices.json config
Any compliant ANT-FS device should in theory work, but those specific devices have been reported as working:
- Garmin Forerunner 60
- Garmin Forerunner 405CX
- Garmin Forerunner 310XT
- Garmin Forerunner 610
- Garmin Forerunner 910XT
- Garmin FR70
- Garmin Swim
- Garmin vívoactive HR
Please let me know if you have any success with devices that are not listed here.
