ANT+ & BlueToothSmart

[TommyRatlon]

Have an application (TrainerRoad, trainerroad.com) that can use an ANT+ and/or BlueToothSmart dongle to communicate with HRMonitors and BicycleTrainer PowerMeters. Primarily the dongles are to read data (HR and Power) from the peripherals and displays it within the application. Some information is sent from the applicaiton to the peripheral to change resistance on the bike.

iApplication installs on wine 1.7.33 without complaint however, I can't seem to get the dongles to be recognized by the application. Both the ANT+(Suunto-Mini) and BlueToothSmart(BlueGiga112) plug in and out of the Linux machine with dmesg recognition. And I have udev rules to map them and they are linked to dosdevices COM1 and COM2 under WINE. However no recognition by the application.

Both dongles work with the application running under VirtualBox, but the applicaiton runs too slow.

Not sure if this is registry issue or a driver issue.

thanks.

Wine doesn't support Bluetooth devices. https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15103

Thanks for the reply.

Well then if WINE can't handle BlueTooth, then I'm down to 1 possible device, the ANT+ protocol, Suunto-Movestick-mini.

When I plug this USB device in it shows up on /dev/ttyUSB0 and is mapped to COM1 under dosdevices. If plugged into an XP or Windows 7 machine it goes out on the Internet and finds the driver and works out of the box. Hoping that means it is not some propietary driver.

Again thanks
