There is also a discussion how to stream ANT+ sensor data to MATLAB in the MATLAB cummunity:

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/142677-capturing-heart-rate-from-usb-ant-dongle-and-chest-strap

No easy, low-cost and high quality solution to this date. Although such solutions are possible.

Alternatives to the streaming server:

to MATLAB are very very expensive

For a live-stream of sensor data from a GARMIN watch to MATLAB, those options are / were available:

1.

https://livetracking.io/

which according to Niels Kieling

a. «yes, this should work»
b. and «was a free and open source» service

2.

Dave Does Demos Demo solution (Dave Lusty who works for Microsoft UK)

which can stream sensor data from a GARMIN watch to Microsoft Power BI. But streaming from Microsoft Power BI to MATLAB only works with MATLAB production server, which is according to the MATLAB community «expensive». For a price request a quote.

3.

A Linux MATLAB version running in a virtual box in windows

https://www.eevblog.com/forum/cloud-computing/live-stream-from-garmin-watches-via-ant-stick-virtual-box-(evtl-coud-iot)/

this option has no streaming server and uses an ANT+ stick. There is no smartphone buffer to this system.A direct sensor stream without interruption is necessary betwen a GARMIN watch and a PC or mini PC:

Here is a Lab Streaming Layer (LSL) Tutorial for Windows:

https://ws-dl.blogspot.com/2019/07/2019-07-15-lab-streaming-layer-lsl.html

Is it possible to integrate LSL into Microsoft Power BI? Is LSL streaming sensor data from Microsoft Power BI to MATLAB possible ?

Also the Microsoft Power BI forum is not free:

A work or school email address is necessary to sign up:

The MATLAB forum is open minded. You don t need MATLAB to post there.

In the XDA Developer forum, at least eight helpful posts are necessary before it is possible to be a developer there. I miss for instance a company independed GARMIN watch section there. I tried to create one, but failed because I created too little helpful posts to this date.

A straightforward solution would be:

1. Labstreaming layer support for the GARMIN watch

2. a Windows Python Library for the GARMIN watch

where every user is free which application to choose for his needs.

A solution which is ready to go for live-stream data is Scott Hardens HARDEN TECHNOLOGY CHANNEL RECORDER:

I did not get the EventHubApp working:

https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/b27ddfe5-e5f7-4754-94ce-ce3007fe49b9

and no one confirmed that he managed to get it to work:

https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/209439/eventhubapp/985907

I did not spend much time trying to get it to work, since there where other options more attractive for me personally.

I did not test an ANT stick solution to stream sensor data to a PC. I could not find a product or an open source solution for an ANT stick that is available and is confirmed that it is working.

Peter Gamma · « **Reply #39 on:** June 07, 2020, 04:39:47 am »

The solution from THIS IS ANT with an ANT stick was not attractive for me personally, for the same reasons the EventHubApp was not attractive for me personally.

Bitalino ECG for instance can be paired in an easy way via Bluetooth to a PC, and there are no monthly fee s to pay for this streaming service.

i could not find an example code for an ANT stick or the EventHubApp which shows that it is working with Matlab. Bitalino has an example code for Matlab

I could not find an example which demonstrates that a Garmin watch, an ANT stick, or the Microsoft Azure Cloud EventHubApp works with Python. Bitalino has APIs for many different kinds of applications

Dave Does Demos (Dave Lusty from Microsoft UK) slogan “Keep Calm, Microsoft Azure” (more is not to be seen from Daves T-Shirt. What does Dave hide on his T-shirt?) was not convincing to me personally:

Dave published this video shortly after I gave him a negative feedback for the EventHubApp in the Garmin App store:

https://apps.garmin.com/de-DE/apps/b27ddfe5-e5f7-4754-94ce-ce3007fe49b9

Nobody else wrote something about the EventHubApp, and nobody confirmed, that the EventHubApp is working, and nobody gave a positive feetback about the EventHubApp.

Is Dave not open to criticism?

Next the Microsoft Azure Cloud, there are now also options available for ANT and BLE sensors to stream to an MQQT Brocker. What is the difference between an Microsoft Azure EventHub and an MQQT Brocker?
