Repository on getting the Power 2 Max power meter connected to the ant+ garmin usb dongle and writing data to the command line.
Essentially follows the installation of the ant-plus library on javascript. However, the following are the steps that I took to get it working.
Since we use submodules in this repository, cloning this repository is a bit different. If you clone this repository make sure to add the --recursive flag at the end.
git clone https://github.com/Monash-Human-Power/ant-plus-app.git --recursive
However, if you forgot to do this you can type the following
git submodule update --init
- Download Zadig and install it
- Plug in your ant+ dongle into a USB port
- Open up Zadig
- Go into Options -> List All Devices
- Select ANT USB-m Stick as the selected USB driver
- Reinstall the driver to WinUSB
- Make sure you have the latest node.js and npm libraries
- Run
sudo apt-get install build-essential libudev-devto install necessary files for the ant-plus nodejs library - Find the vendor and product ID by running the command
lsusb.
Example output:
Bus 005 Device 005: ID 0fcf:1009 Dynastream Innovations, Inc. ANTUSB-m Stick
In this example, it tells us that the vendor ID is 0fcf and the product ID is 1009 of the USB
- Create a new udev rule
sudo vi /etc/udev/rules.d/ant-usb-m.rules
This will open up the vi text editor and create a file at that location
- Put the following into the rules file
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fcf", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1009", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x0fcf product=0x1009", MODE="0666", OWNER="pi", GROUP="root"
- Check that the system identifies the new USB
ls /dev/ttyUSB0
The console should output /dev/ttyUSB0
- Unplug the USB and run the script by typing
node index.js
Once you have installed the necessary libraries, on your browser go to http://localhost:3000. This should direct you to the dashboard where you should be able to see two graphs side-by-side.
