Is foretrex 401 supported

[Tico06]

Hi There,

I am trying to send a waypoint from my foretrex 401 to my laptop over the air with the help of a ANT USBStick2.

When used with ant-downloader I have the following output:

Any clue ?

Thanks and regards,

A couple things,

I'm not familiar with the Foretrex 410. This code supports a pretty narrow set of old devices. So you may want to also try: https://github.com/Tigge/antfs-cli

Make sure the watch is ready to pair; "Found device, but paring not enabled" shows up in the second attempt, but not the first. Pairing is a little flaky so try a couple times. The device should be in the mode where its waiting for computer to connect, and asks you to press a button to confirm.

If your device is supported by this code base, It only downloads routes from the watch. Its technically possible to download other datatypes, but I never implemented it. I'm not sure about antfs-cli it may work with waypoints if your device is supported.

Hi Braiden,

Thanks a lot for your quick reply. I already gave it a try with antfs-cli, with more or less the same result. I guess you pointed out the main issue. With the Foretrex 401 you send the waypoint or routes to other device, and you are not awaiting a connection from the other side.

There is a similar process as you describe to pair a heart beat or cadence monitor.

I'll post in antfs-cli, but it doesn't look tracked anymore by its autor.

Any progress and I'll post here.

thanks and regards,

Eric.
