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.
Might, could, but, I use the laptop with an external[2nd] monitor, tried once on a friend’s 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
Possible that you are using outdated ANT+ only devices?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 Garmin’s 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 …
Please, do not, not even joking suggest I get a wahoo trainer … 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 …
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+ ‘stick’ 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? I’m wondering about the sensor. Do you see it as a selection on the device tab of settings? If you do, something isn’t correct for it in System. ANT+ is ANT+.
