It's going to depend on how scalable you want the system to be ad how many devices you need to talk to.

If you just talking to a few devices then the way I usually go is via some sort of proxy (HTTP/Websockets/MQTT to USB/Serial) or implement the protocol (if it’s simple enough) directly in AS.

With ANT+ my understanding it that the ANT USB stick just shows up as a serial port so either of those approaches should be possible. It may be that someone has already written a proxy that does the work for you.

Hope that helps,
Justin

Hi Justin,

Thanks for your reply, if you can please give me an idea how to get started
that would be greatly appreciated as I couldn't find anything through
google.

I assume you need to tap into some libraries in the android sdk? for a
mobile app and I am not too sure what to do on windows to access the Ant+
data.

Yep done quite a bit with similar systems involving GPS, Arduinos and the like. You can quickly make dashboard apps that show what’s going on in real time.

Thanks,
