NAME

       antpm-downloader  -  console  based  ANT-FS  information  retrieval  client for Garmin GPS
       products.

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       antpm-downloader is a small command-line utility to retrieve information  (sports  tracks,
       etc.)  from  Garmin  GPS  products over the wireless ANT-FS protocols. Currently supported

LINUX USER'S GUIDE

Make sure you're using the latest released version of ANT+minus.

Make sure that the cp210x kernel module is loaded: "sudo modprobe cp210x". Verify by
looking at non-empty output of "lsmod | grep cp210x".

Make sure that the USB2ANT stick is connected to the machine.

Make sure cp210x driver was assigned to your USB2ANT. Verify by "dmesg | grep tty" and
look for a line similar to: "[ 3274.854726] usb 6-2: cp210x converter now attached to
ttyUSB0". Also make sure "ls /dev/ttyUSB*" lists your device node.

Your user must be able to access the /dev/ttyUSB0 device. This can be achieved e.g. by the
installing the http://antpm.googlecode.com/git/scripts/80-ant-stick.rules udev rule into
/etc/udev/rules.d. Restart udev. Verify by "cat /dev/ttyUSB0".

Install the antpm binary package.

Enable "pairing mode" on your watch.

Bring your watch to ~50cm from the USB2ANT stick. Sometimes avoiding the proximity of a
WiFi network helps.

Run antpm-downloader on your machine. This will attempt connecting to the watch and pair
with it first.

During pairing, you have to click "Yes" on the watch to complete pairing.

Afterwards all activity information from the watch is downloaded to your machine. This can
take some time.

The downloaded files are stored on your machine to the folder ConfigFolder/*device-
id*/*current-date-time* (where ConfigFolder equals $XDG_CONFIG_HOME which usually points
to $HOME/.config/antpm/ or $ANTPM_DIR/ if that is set).

The 310XT stores all information in .fit files. These files can describe
waypoints/tracks/activities.

To convert the downloaded .fit files to a more commonly used .gpx format, issue the
command "antpm-fit2gpx -F ConfigFolder/*device-id*/*current-date-time*" e.g. "antpm-
fit2gpx -F ~/.config/antpm/4531082473/2013_03_26_10_58_19". This will populate the given
folder with .gpx files.

HOW TO SUBMIT A BUG-REPORT

       Please open a bug report at http://code.google.com/p/antpm

       In your report please include:

              The log of the program in question (usually saved under ~/.config/antpm)?

              What steps will reproduce the problem?

              What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

              What  version of ANT+minus are you using? On what operating system? Is it pre-built
              of from sources?

              What GPS are you trying to use? What firmware version?

WINDOWS USER'S GUIDE

       Make sure that the USB2ANT stick is connected to the machine.

       Install      the       libusb       driver       by       running       "3rd_party/libusb-
       win32-bin-1.2.6.0/driver_installer/inf-wizard.exe"

DEVICES

       Wireless  ANT  communications  happens  over  a  USB2ANT dongle. Under Linux the dongle is
       driven by cp210x kernel module,  and  presented  to  user-space  as  a  USB  serial  port,
       /dev/ttyUSBxxx  where  xxx  is an integer. The dongle is typically carrying the USB vendor
       id/product id pair of 0fcf/1004 or 0fcf/1008. Recent Linux systems employ udev  to  handle
       device nodes and permissions, thus appropriate

FILES

       /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/usb/serial/cp210x.ko
              Kernel driver module for USB2ANT dongle.

       /dev/ttyUSBxxx
              Serial device created for dongle.

       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/antpm ($HOME/.config/antpm)
              Default config folder (downloaded content is also stored here).

       ANTPM_DIR
              The  ANTPM_DIR  environment  variable  is  honored  to  override the default config
              folder.
