But I don't see any docs on getting GC to work with newer OS X releases using IOKIT. According to the wiki page, it says to use modprobe to find it, but I'm using Lion with doesn't have modprobe and instead uses IOKIT. So I went to try the new version but failed miserably at getting GC to work with the Garmin ANT+ USB stick. It should also support ANT+ devices like the GSC-10 and the ANT+ HRM. It appears that 3.0 should now support getting Power data from the Computrainer itself. I just wanted to ask here if there's a fundamental reason why it can't (like the ANT+ stick not being able to really be a "client" and can only be a "host" or something dumb).ĭjb_rh wrote:In theory, I think I could have used GC for this. If it hasn't been done but there's no fundamental reason why it can't, I may be interested in doing an open source project to make that happen.

I see ctANT+ is kind of the opposite of this, and it's cool and all, but I'm trying to get away from Windows completely. the ANT+ stick broadcasts as if it were a power meter and just passes through the Computrainer power data? Or can this be done? That way one could just use the Computrainer head to set power manually and then log that along with their other data to something like an Edge 800 (or any device that logs ANT+ power data).

Next, a semi-related question: has anyone written any software to let a computer with a USB ANT+ stick that's also got a Computrainer plugged in become a VIRTUAL power meter? Ie. I dropped back and punted and swapped a bike into the CT that DOES have an ANT+ power meter and GSC-10 and just logged with my Edge 800.īut moving forward, I'd really rather use the other bike and GC, so help in configuring this would be welcome. Since I couldn't solve THIS issue, I didn't even try the CT with GC. *shrug* Any pointers on this part would be welcome. I was wearing the HRM and it should have been "alive" at that point. I went into Preferences->Devices and it did do a "scan", but I can't tell if it's looking for the ANT+ stick, or if it was talking to the ANT+ stick and not finding any devices.

In theory, I think I could have used GC for this. But I really wanted ONE data set with HRM, cadence, and Power in it, and didn't want to have to dig out a Polar HRM and use a damned Windows machine. But the bike has no power meter, and I needed power data. My situation is that I have a bike on the CT with a Garmin GSC-10 on it and I use a Garmin ANT+ HRM. That was timely, as I was HOPING to use GC to log data on my CT for an FTP test today.

On the other hand, I don’t want to drive a 10-minute recovery between two intervals.A few random questions I haven't found the answer to yet.įirst, I found the recent thread about the Dec 7 GC 3.0 update that fixed the Computrainer USB to serial adapter issue. I see that as belonging to the interval and do not want to have to enter it separately each time. Or am I making a mistake? I always plan my intervals so that after the interval I have maybe 30 seconds to 2 minutes of recovery with maybe 50% of the FTP, but then drive again in the endurance area for 2 to 15 minutes (or longer). And if I then want to drive three such blocks, I put a 3 in the repetitions. So if I do a 6 second sprint, then have 24 seconds of recovery and then 9:30 minutes want to drive again in the endurance area as before the sprint, then I would like to do this in the workout planning under one interval in one line. Namely not only the two columns with the rest time and rest FTP, but also a column where I enter the time after the rest time, how long it will take until the next interval starts. On the other hand, when planning workouts with sets and reps, I would prefer two more columns to fill out. On the one hand, the 6 seconds sprints (233 % FTP) are not shown in the curve of the workout, but the curve always remains below the FTP for the 73% of the FTP that I complete in the minutes before. I have just designed a workout with a few sprints in between.
