For me personally, DC Rainmaker blog introducing technologies for runners, cyclists and triathletes was very helpful. Ray gave the following information to me, which might be helpful also for a Pinephone BLE Bike computer:
“There are a number of ANT+ profiles not in Bluetooth Smart, for example cycling radar or ANT+ lights, or even a draft ANT+ Aero sensor profile.
Ultimately, the core profiles for a sports watch as I see it are:
ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart Heart Rate
ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart Cycling Power
ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart Running Footpod (Stride sensor)
ANT+ & Bluetooth Smart Cycling/Speed Sensors (this is technically three different types of sensors: Speed-only, cadence-only, and Speed/Cadence combo).”
You can google this information in DC Rainmakers blog, where I asked Ray this question.
Almost all ANT+ profiles are also available as BLE profiles.
Is there a reason not to build a open, friendly, community driven Pinephone BLE bike computer instead of dealing with closed, unfriendly, and ego ANT+ developers?
