Unfortunately, I do not have much more extra money, $1500/month minus mortgage, utilities food, fuel, etc, to purchase a new pc/laptop to be able to run systm and in my android, I cannot pair my trainer or sensors.
I will here for the ride hoping to see if I can get my hands on something worthy to replace my venerable Windows 7 Pro laptop.
Not suggesting you try this unless youāre 100% comfortable with what youāre doing and have a method for rolling back if it all goes wrong, but does the free upgrade to Windows 10 still work?
Itās been a few months, but it has worked for me in the recentāish past.
Might, could, but, I use the laptop with an external[2nd] monitor, tried once on a friendās tablet, might have been iPad, and I cnnot see the values, I need big numbers; I can only NOT use reading glasses while driving or riding outside
Thatās a shame. I hope you can find a workable solution. Hardware wise I have SYSTM running on a couple of very underpowered laptops (both Win 7 upgraded to Win10) so a cheap/low end second hand machine may be able to do the job for you but ācheapā is a relative term and I do appreciate and understand where youāre coming from.
Hereās to good weather and being able to ride outdoors!
Possible that you are using outdated ANT+ only devices? I got a TICKR for free from Wahoo that is dual channel and all of my devices are now dual channel. Android certainly does support BTLE 4 very well as I have a device that only supports that protocol. Some devices are quite expensive though but you might be able to find a second-hand device that is dual channel.
A friend donated me a used PC, it uses Windows 10 Pro, still get NO speed sensor, ANT+ from GARMIN is up to date, everything here is up to date. My HRM sensor is Garminās ANT+/BT, Cadence, Speed and Power meters are integrated into the Misuro B+ Sensor.
Ride like crazy for 45 mins and move 0kms and 0km/h ā¦
Please, do not, not even joking suggest I get a wahoo trainer ā¦ I use ELITE since I can use my Campagnolo cassette.
For now happy that I can follow something on the screen and sweat and curse ā¦
I bought a PC Stick in Dec 2020 for $169. It has an HDMI connector and Bluetooth and runs Windows 10. It runs SYSTM just fine. I also have a Wahoo Ant+ dongle. I just plugged it into an existing TV and can do all my workouts. You can get a similar or updated model now for between $165 and $215. The $165 model runs Win 10, the $205 model runs Win 11.
This ay sound absolutely silly but are the drivers for the ANT+ āstickā up to date and installed? Is the stick showing up when you look at the laptops devices? SYSTM should work just fine on Windows10 or 11, any version from what i understand.
Do you see power? Iām wondering about the sensor. Do you see it as a selection on the device tab of settings? If you do, something isnāt correct for it in System. ANT+ is ANT+.
