USB dongles are monogamous creatures and don't like to be shared between two different apps.

But say, just for the sake of argument, that someone, somewhere, in an alternate universe, sometimes trains with The Sufferfest and sometimes trains with.not The Sufferfest (shudder). When we say, "You Can Never Leave," we meant it. The very thought would have the Minions sharpening their flogging sticks. Using another app in addition to The Sufferfest? Tested and approved dongles for use with The Sufferfest app Wahoo USB+ ANT+ Kit If the manufacturer doesn't specify, but the device is a "mini USB", you can safely assume it's USB2. That 'USB2' on the back of the device tells you this is the dongle you're looking for. You should be able to tell by looking at the back of the dongle. Before you purchase an ANT+ USB dongle, make sure it is USB2. New and improved USB2 has the ability to transmit data on 8 channels. The older versions of USB and USB1 only transmit information on 4 channels. NOTE: Do NOT rename the Viiiiva, this will prevent it from transmitting data to a third-party app.īeware, not all ANT+ USB dongles are created equal. Check out this help article for Viiiiva setup steps. The Viiiiva is a heart rate monitor that also acts as a bridge to convert Ant+ to Bluetooth. Need help configuring your CABLE?

The North Pole Engineering CABLE is a stand-alone device that converts ANT+ signals to Bluetooth signals that The Sufferfest app can receive. To find out more about these devices, check out the following links: The CABLE by North Pole Engineering or The Viiiiva HRM by 4iiii. There are a few trainers and power meters that only connect using ANT+, for these, we do recommend you try the CABLE or the Viiiiva, but we cannot guarantee that they will work effectively all the time. The cost is comparable to getting an ANT+ to Bluetooth bridge. We highly recommend replacing your sensors with Bluetooth sensors, such as the Wahoo RPM Speed and Cadence sensors and the Wahoo TICKR. If you have an older Wahoo Ant+ key and 30-pin to lightning adaptor setup for your Ant+ devices, The Sufferfest app will not be able to receive data from them.Īn ANT+ to Bluetooth bridging device is a possible solution here, but keep in mind that this is essentially adding a "middle man" into your device connections. The iOS version of The Sufferfest app does not support Ant+ connections directly to the device. PCs, Macs, and iOS devices don't have built-in ANT+ receivers so you need an ANT+ receiver that plugs into your device to let it connect or a device to convert the ANT+ signal to Bluetooth. If you have a speed sensor, cadence sensor, or power meter transmitting information over ANT+ you will need a receiver on the other end.
