but what can we do with a Raspberry Pi with Ant+? Johannes Bader focused on getting the ANT+ stick to run on Raspberry Pi. The software Johannes Bader published in this context which I could find is a script which illustrates heart rate capturing with Ant+:

Raspberry Pi with Ant+ is not free:

B:) Projects by Reto Roelli https://infinityflow.ch; Rasperri ANT+ which sends sensor data to an MQTT broker:

Reto Roellin s code is NOT free, but protected by Reto Roelli

C:) How to connect the Raspberry Pi to a Bluetooth heart rate monitor (Clinton Freeman, software engineer)

Clinton Freemans project has not the legal constraints of ANT+, since it uses BLE code, but it has no MQTT
