My wife got a Garmin wristband fitness device, which uses an ANT+ dongle to communicate with her PC. I figured I'd see what happens if I plug the dongle into my OTG USB adapter, since it magically allowed me to plug a mouse into my phone (not terribly useful, but a great icebreaker at parties).
Short version: nothing happens.
Long version: I installed the following drivers and apps.
ANT Radio Service: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.service.socket
ANT+ Plugins Service: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.plugins.antplus
ANT+ Sampler (demo app): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsi.ant.antplus.pluginsampler
When I run the ANT+ Sampler, it comes up with a wide array of devices that I can test connectivity with. But it's all for naught, because I get the toaster message "ANT Adapter Not Available. Built-in ANT hardware or external adapter required."
Any chance that there's just something simple that I'm missing, like an additional driver that the Sampler app didn't prompt me to install? I'll need a non-rooted solution for my purposes, though I'd be curious if it can be made to work with root access.
And while I'm asking for the moon, it would be great if I could get it to work on my wife's Moto G, and I also want a pony.
