ANT+ Dongle HACK - ZWIFT

[@nielst.3891]

Great idea! Had applied this last week on my setup!

[@adammillsindustries.]

Awesome. My stick is in pc. Think that’s why my readings are all over.

[@jamdiversified9698]

Yeah the range isn't real great on these things

[@clintondonkin6821]

nice hack dude. pretty interested in your Bike stand/laptop holder hack too, any info or vids for it mate?

[@jamdiversified9698]

Thanks mate. I really should as it takes all of 5 mins to make if u have a bike stand.

[@clintondonkin6821]

@@jamdiversified9698 have the same stand too, thats what caught my eye!

[@7amid-]

hi .. im curioous how the signal comes out when you blocking it .. ?

[@jamdiversified9698]

Hamid 2018 it’s plastic, it doesn’t block the signal.

[@7amid-]

JAMdiversified so its make signal stronger and more strong right?

[@jamdiversified9698]

Hamid 2018 yes because it’s right below the power meter, these dongles don’t have much range

[@7amid-]

JAMdiversified im buying a smart trainer and i will put my under the bike near the trainer ,, so do you recommend me to do this hack or ? By the way i want to use trainerroad app

[@jamdiversified9698]

Hamid 2018 I had trouble reading my cadence when the dongle was plugged into the computer directly as it was too far away. You don’t have to do this hack unless you have issues.

[@pureeschaap]

Just stick in your PC !? You're making a sweat bath now.

[@jamdiversified9698]

Did u even watch the vid, it’s clearly up the other way at the start, of course I had to turn it over to show you.....

[@E92335iWB]

Could you translate into French what is your Hack for? Merci JAMdiversified

[@shirotaku686]

il suffit de couvrir votre dongle dans une chose en plastique pour le protéger ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@shirotaku686]

pas trop difficile de deviner le hack en regardant

[@shirotaku686]

même si ce n'est pas un hack mais juste stupide

[@BikesBlades]

Clever! Good tip.

[@christresise221]

Great way to block the signal getting to the dongle

[@jamdiversified9698]

Maybe if it was a metal lid, but this is plastic, probably polypropylene. A millimetre of plastic is not going to block the signal. ANT+ operates at 2.4GHz, just like most internet wifi routers, which you will notice either have external antennas in a plastic housing or an internal antenna which is obviously covered by the plastic case of the router. On top of that, this setup works totally fine so ummm yeah, I guess it isn't a great way to block the signal?
