FortiusANT

FortiusANT enables a pre-smart Tacx trainer (usb- or ANT-connected) to communicate with TrainerRoad, Rouvy or Zwift through ANT.

FortiusANT is running on the computer (Windows, Linux or MacOS) where the trainer is connected and broadcasts the ANT+ signal, using a dongle, to another computer or tablet. You might also run TrainerRoad or Zwift on the same computer and then two ANT+ dongles on the same computer are required.

Supported Tacx trainers

USB: Tacx Flow, Fortius, i-Flow, i-Magic with T1902, T1904, T1932, T1942 head units

ANT: Tacx Vortex, Genius, Bushido (with T1982 head unit)

Bushido support is still experimental at this time (please consider providing feedback in #117).

Communication with Trainer Road, Rouvy, Zwift and others

Communication with a Cycling Training Program (CTP) can be done using an ANT- or BLE-dongle (BLE = Bluetooth Low Energy)

The CTP can be run on another computer or Smartphone.

ANT dongles made by CYCPLUS (identical-looking ones sold as Anself and probably others) have been known to cause problems. Refer to issue #61 (#97, #207 and others)
