But, I’ve since shared how I solved that problem. First up is the issue of simply losing the darn thing in my backpack or around the house. It’s really easy plug and play capability that makes sorting out an enhanced turbo experience a breeze.If you’re like me and are constantly on a laptop – there are really two minor issues that I have with the Garmin USB stick that I use to download workouts from my Forerunner to my computer. I’ll try it out again on BigRingVR and also Zwift and make some observations on those pauses and report back, but so far my initial impression with the Garmin ANT stick is very positive. With 4 units transmitting simultaneously it could be that it’s just overloading the processing capability of the stick, or it could be related to the turbo training simulator, but it’s too soon to draw any firm conclusions, and to be honest these were minor hiccups in an overall very positive experience. In use there were a few occasions where the BigRingVR service paused where the feeds seemed to come to a halt briefly, but I even had one occasion (that I noticed) where my Fenix 3 HR lost the speed sensor for a second or 2. Well I neededn’t have worried, all the sensors communicationed directly to the stick and I didn’t need the Edge 800 at all. My research before had suggested all sorts of limitations with the ANT stick, especially with my Fenix3 HR, and so I thought I would have to feed everything in to my Garmin Edge 800 and that in turn would broadcast to the ANT Stick which had named the Edge 800 as one of the limited supported devices. ![]() For my initial test I was using BigRingVR for my first turbo session and to my delight the PC picked up all 4 sensors without fail, and without any hassle. I was planning to use the stick to pick up feeds from my Garmin speed sensor, Garmin cadence sensor, My Fenix 3 HR (via the broadcast function), and the Limits Power meter. Garmin ant agent download failed windows 10#On Windows 10 (the PC I used) I actually downloaded the app from the Windows 10 store which seems to be the Garmin Connect App that works on windows mobile and windows 10. Garmin ant agent download failed install#Is it turns out basically what it wants you to do is to download Garmin Connect to your PC which will in turn install the ANT drivers to your PC. Garmin ant agent download failed manual#The manual is pretty basic, but basically it directs you to /start which is slightly misleading because that page shows you a bunch of device categories, none of which is the USB stick, and asks you to select which device you have. Onbivously it will fit into a USB port but for comparison I have photographed it here against my thumb. The Product itself arrived in a small square paper packet.Īnd within the packet was the stick, and a few manuals. ![]() In a post yesterday I reached out for some advice because in an impusive move I ordered a Garmin ANT+ USB Stick from Amazon and it was arriving today, but I wasn’t sure if it was going to work with the kit I had because of the lack of information about compatibility with my other gear on the Garmin website.Īnyhow, the USB stick arrived today, and after some advice from DC Rainmaker (Ray) I was convinced that all would be OK so I decided to forge ahead. ![]()
