Great project, really helped me out when relaying my ant+ only garmin watch to link with Zwift!

I've noticed 2 issues as of late.

1. When minimizing the app to run as a service in the notification shade, resuming the activity often launches a new activity. This requires pressing back multiple times to get to the "active" activity that's actually enabled and transmitting information.
2. Sometimes the app crashes on startup and becomes unresponsive. The only way to fix this I've seen is to uninstall and reinstall it. I haven't tried clearing app data yet, but it shouldn't be necessary.

This is done on a Samsung Galaxy S9 running Android 10.

Hi,
Firstly great app. It will save me alot of headaches when i finally get it working.

So I got ANt+ working on my old s4 stock android 5 rom. The csc app see's me speed/cadence/HR devices and reports correct.

But, there it does not advertise a BTLE device that I can use on zwitft or anything else.

I tried changing device name to only "S4". Bluetooth is working and I've testing sharing within the bluetooth settings and my other devices can see it.

logcat doesn't give me much, and I can't see the "advertising log" as discussed in the Nexus 5 thread.
Anyone any thoughts on how to debug

Thank you for your work. Do you have apk available or need to compile by myself?

I am linux user but have a Window partition just for zwift. Some days ago I tried Zwift on Lutris and works flawless but my only concern I can't bridge my Garmin HRM-TRI (Ant+) to zwfit (others sensors has bluetooth so works fine throug zwift companion). I would like to test my setup and give some feedback/PR.

Help needed.
I am unable get get any sensors?
I am using a Samsung Note 20 Ultra.
It keeps saying Dead (Dependency not installed)
What have I done wrong.

On my android phone, the app stop brutally. How to do ?

Hope this is the right place - I notice there isn't really an app that does ANT+ to BLE bridging for FE-C and power? Is that something that can implemented in future updates? Great work by the way, I've been thinking about how I would do somthing with the Nordic nRF52832 with Arduino or similar.

So now everything is workin, i'd like to change the wheel size to 700x28C

is it as simple as changing

**
// 700x23c circumference in meter
private static final BigDecimal circumference = new BigDecimal("2.095");**

to

**
// 700x23c circumference in meter
private static final BigDecimal circumference = new BigDecimal("2.136");**

AM i missing anything else, i suspect i am as I think BLE advertising also incorporates 700x23c profile, but not 100% on it. Any help greatly appreciated

I recently ran this on my OnePlus 7 Pro running Android 10 and it crashed with:

    Process: idv.markkuo.cscblebridge, PID: 19212

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Run the application on a OnePlus 7 Pro running Android 10
2. Select START BLE BRIDGING
3. The above crash will occur

I've created a PR to resolve the issue:
#9

Firstly, top work on this. Great project!
For info, in addition to the already listed devices I can confirm it works with the OnePlus 5T (Android 10) and the Garmin HRM3-SS monitor.

On using the app for a session today I experienced a drop out of the sensors after about 40 mins. This could have been overly aggressive app/battery optimisation on my phone with this app or the Ant+ radio service? - I guess further testing will establish this.
However on scrolling back to the CSC_BLE app (I had Zwift companion in the foreground at the time) I clicked to Start BLE Bridging again and the app started reported sensor data after a few seconds. However Zwift didn't pick up the sensors automatically - I had to pair again within Zwift and it detected a totally new device. It seems the phone is advertising itself using MyPhoneName-{random number}. Is it possible to static the device name that's broadcast, so in the event of the above you wouldn't need to setup the pairing as if it's a new device?

iPad mini 6 can't connect (tried with zwift, rouvy) to this app running on a Samsung S8, while a 2016 ipad pro can. Both iPads are running iOS 15.1. As usual my macbook pro also connects fine.

The iPad mini 6 can connect to BLE power source (Wahoo Kickr Snap) without problem though. At this moment I have no idea what's the issue. I would assume this has something to do more with the ipad mini 6 than this app.

Hi team,

So I was just having a play with this using my Nokia 7 Plus (which has ANT+ built in, even though its not listed on the this is Ant website directory), and this works. It picks up my old garmin strap, and my elite zumo. Top job!

Now, the question I have is that can the BLE devices it creates, be used within an app running on the same device as the bridge is running on? Or do you have to run the bridge on a separate device to where you want to consume the the simulated devices?

My use case is running the RGT app on my phone, whilst using the bridge app to generate the signal from my heart strap to the RGT app. The RGT app already see's my trainer as it has BLE and ANT, just need to get my old school strap linked in. I have also tried the Ghostracer app to see if it can see the BLE sensor either, but no dice.

Good work!!!

Hello.
The CSC BLE Bridge does not recognize my heart rate Sensor, allthough all required dependencies (ANT Radio Service and ANT+ Plugins Service) are installed.
Other bike apps (e.g. Jepster) immediately show the transferred heart rate. So ANT+ is basically working.
Any ideas how to solve this problem?
I'm trying to run the app on a Samsung S10 with Android 11.
Any help is appreciated.
With kind regards

Hello,

I tested your app with an other version of Garmin sensor. It's the sensor cadence/speed together.
With this your app is functional.

I have an other sensor to test. I'll keep you informed.

Bluetooth LE: Android 4.3 (API level 18)

See if it's possible to support older android version.

See #1

I have been looking for an android widget that displays cadence that I can float over another app (using the Overlays app). If I had the skill/talent and time I'd try to figure this out myself and create my own fork. But unfortunately I have zero coding experience.

Despite the application seeming to work without issues, I cannot find the BLE device from any other BLE client.
I tried using a pocophone f1 with lineageos 21 and a fairphone 5 with stock rom (android 13) as a server, and I tried to find the ble signal using both of these devices, my desktop PC and a pixel 7 smartphone running android 14, but there is no sign of the BLE signal.
I was wondering, was this application ever tested on android 13 and up?
Since I don't have much (read: any) experience with android development, any tips how I could go about troubleshooting the issue?

Hello
On my watch, a pulse sensor connected via ant+ to smartphone with CSC_BLE_Bridge is defined as a cadence sensor, not a pulse. Why is that? How to make the pulse visible on the watch?
