This is an Ant+ to BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) Bridging app for ANT+ Cycling Speed and Cadence (CSC) sensors and ANT+ heart rate sensors. The app will act as a Cycling speed/cadence and/or HR BLE sensor so other BLE device (phone, PC, Mac, tablet) can reads data from ANT+ sensors.

This is an Android app which reads ANT+ cycling speed/cadence (CSC) and/or heart rate sensors in the background (actually in an Android foreground service), and advertises itself as a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device which implements Cycling Speed and Cadence Profile (CSCP) and Heart Rate Profile (HRP) so that other devices can see this Android device as a Cycling Speed and Cadence Bluetooth and/or Heart Rate BLE sensor.

This is useful when you only have ANT+ CSC/HR sensors but you want to connect to them as BLE sensors (provided that you don't have an USB ANT+ stick around but happen to have an ANT+ enabled Android device like a Samsung phone).

Long hold on the sensors name on top of the screen to rescan for Ant+ devices after the "Start BLE bridging" button has been pressed. All sensors will automatically scan for Ant+ sources when the "Start BLE bridging" button is pressed.

Download Source Issues

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store, Droid-ify, or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
