heart rate?

[mikey]

so has anybody identified an ANT+ receiver translator that can plug into a data logger?

I have a MoTeC ADL and just picked up the Mio Fuse wrist band. It can connect via BLE or ANT+, but it only talks about apps and other more common device pairing.

I am trying to find something that will receive the heart beat and output a digital pulse like a wheel speed sensor.

I see several devices with a mini plug but not sure if that would work or how I'd wire the connections to the 3 rings on the plug.

If anybody has done something to pair a heart monitor with a data system, please chime in!

I've built a prototype receiver for the coded polar protocol. I'm about to go into "production" with a run of 10 units. The prototype would have been about $200 because I used ASL connectors. The production run will use Binder m9 connectors so should be $100 I think. (Plus the chest strap.) I might have them ready as soon as Sep 1. Oct 1 is more likely.

I only just now learned about ANT+. Probably easy to incorporate into my existing design. Maybe I'll do a run of 5 and 5.

Depending on how handy you are you can take this and integrate it into a Arduino Due which will do analog out

Also, you can join the Polar developer program and they send you a few receivers that you can then interface with your own magic

Unfortunately you can't just take the impulses and plug them directly into a digital input, the levels are not right and there is a bit of software required to get a reliable reading, according to the reading I did when I investigated it.

HTH.

the sparkfun kit is garbage. it basically doesn't work. in order to get the "real" parts that work, Polar wants you to sign a developer agreement.

found this thing:

but it does more than I need. I just want to feed the signal to the logger, display on dash if I want..

The PZRacing solution looks kind of promising, but ordering one doesn't look that easy. Not sure it is available anymore either.
