Introduction

Python implementation of the ANT, ANT+, and ANT-FS protocols. For more information about ANT, see http://www.thisisant.com/.

Can be used to communicate with ANT nodes using an ANT stick (USB).

This project came to be when I tried to download data for analysis from my ANT+/ANT-FS enabled running watch under GNU/Linux. This eventually lead me to attempting to port ANT_LIB and ANT_DLL (by Dynastream) to Linux. However, I didn't quite like the library, the protocol is well documented and trivial to implement, and I was going to have to write a ctypes-based wrapper afterwards since I was only going to use the library from Python. Thus, I decided to write a pure Python implementation.

Documentation will be a bit scarse for the time being, but everything public should have at least a docstring by the time I make the first stable release.
