Has anyone found or built an app that can read the data from the Garmin LidarLite v4 via an ANT USB https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/10997/pn/010-01058-00 to a PC or Android Phone? I can talk to it fine through the Arduino IDE but would like to find a wireless solution with out going down the ThisIsAnt .com rabbit hole.
I have been working on this for a few months on and off. My goal was to create a Android app and connect to the sensor with ANT. I have found that the Garmin LIDARLite v4 uses a Private Network key which is required to be passed during the initial handshake so-to-speak. I banged my head off the wall for hours trying to get the sample app to accept the Private key. I finally went back and read the ANT Android SDK manual and found that Private Networks are not support on Android. :x
I have read someplace that ANT devices with Private keys can be programmed to use the public key. I am not holding my breath on that with the v4. I think I will pursue a Bluetooth solution from and Arduino board. All I really want to do is pass the serial data to an Android using some wireless method.
