4. For a windows solution connect Dave Lustys from Microsoft UK EventHubApp project to the rest API of Matlab or Python

APIS for desktop applications should be standard for Garmin, Polar, Amazfit, etc. watches. Guiding star is Bitalino

5.For a Windows version, according to Darren Hague, vpower should also run in a Linux virtual box running in Windows
https://github.com/dhague/vpower
Darren Hague is an excellent programmer and former brain scientist. So for a windows solution, it should be possible to run vpower in a Linux virtual box running in Windows and integrate it in a Linux version of Matlab or Python.

I think it is worth having a closer look at Darren Hagues Virtual Power project:
https://github.com/dhague/vpower
Eventually, Darren Hagues Rasperry Pi zero could be maintained, redirected to Matlab or Python and serve as a data buffer

Rasperri ANT project which sends data via a MQTT-Broker to Matlab or Python

In theory, it should be possible to have live stream of ANT sensor data from a Garmin watch to a Rasperri PI to a smartphone to a server to Matlab or Python.
https://www.thisisant.com/forum/viewthread/7074/P45
But this raises questions about the stability of this mqqt path.
More easy to get a stable stream would be a stream as directly as possible from a sensor to Matlab or Python via Bluetooth smart to a mini PC stick with Matlab or Python
https://ch.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/518074-is-there-an-example-how-to-connect-the-polar-oh1-bluetooth-low-energy-heart-rate-sensor-with-matlab?s_tid=prof_contriblnk

There is a Bluetooth smart SDK from Polar and Stryd, but what is missing is an example code for those sensors.

Or a short cut connection from a mqqt Raspperri PI data grabber to a PC with Matlab or Python as the last rescue of the ANT live stream path?

I tried to post this instruction how to stream ANT+ sensor data live to Matlab or Python here in the Garmin Forum:
https://forums.garmin.com/developer/connect-iq/f/discussion/8077/sending-sensors-data-to-pc/1043426#1043426
But my post was not published. I received the following message from Garmin:
Dear Peter Gamma:
Your forum reply, RE: Sending sensors data to PC, in Discussion was flagged by other users as inappropriate and doesn't appear on the site right now.
Reason: The forum reply was determined to be SPAM.
Please help us keep the community content safe and enjoyable for everyone. If you feel your content shouldn't be hidden from the site, please let us know. You can use this form to appeal the finding before May 17, 2020 11:34 AM, and we'll promptly review it.
I filled out the form. I did not receive an answer yet from Garmin. Why should my post be spam? Is Garmin not interested in an instruction how to stream Ant+ sensor data live to a PC? Is it spam, when I use the word "Matlab"
. I cannot see another reason.
So I post my instruction, which I posted also in the THIS IS ANT forum also here. In a community, it is easier to develop a new path":
Instruction:
1. Example code from Reto:
https://infinityflow.ch/raspberry-pi-ant/
2. install a MQTT brocker on the Rasperri:
https://mosquitto.org/download/
3. Connect to RPi 3 ad-hoc network from windows PC:
https://raspberrypi.stackexchange.com/questions/70621/connecting-to-rpi-3-ad-hoc-network-from-windows-pc
4. Connect to Matlab MQTT:
https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/300785-does-matlab-support-mqtt
5. connect to Matlab example code:
https://youtu.be/Ercd-Ip5PfQ
6. Or connect to Python MQTT:
https://pypi.org/project/paho-mqtt/
7. connect to Python example code:

My post was flagged b y o t h e r u s e r s as inappropriate.
One user had a problem with me in the Garmin forum. He complained, I should exlain the problem in simple words, without posting so many links.
Since then, many of my posts where not published, I received a message from Garmin, that they where marked as inappropriate. I filled out a form. Some came back. But several posts dissappeared forever. Reason unknown.

17 month ago, Garmin migrated to a new forum software. During the migration, posts where lost. I miss a thread in the Garmin forum about foot pods, which was lost during the migration. Someone in the forum proposed I could complain about the lost posts, and that they could bring back the posts I complain about.
I will not start a fight with Garmin about every single post to bring it back

The reason you’re probably getting automated spam request is simple unfortunately: Most platforms consider numerous links to have a high confidence of SPAM. So they put them in a queue.
In fact, your message here went into my ‘requires approval’ bucket for exactly that reason. Anything over two links automatically gets placed into that queue. It’s not a perfect system, but it helps. In my case, I get between 2,000-4,000 pieces of SPAM daily. Yet only 1-2 usually slip through. Every little bit helps.
Cheers!

I love the system of the MATLAB community, which is better. Potential spam is marked immediately as potential spam, but stays published. You can write a message to the MATLAB support team, and then they remove the flag.

I tried again and again to find a version to publish Max Candocias tool in the Garmin forum. Unfortunately, I always failed. Is this censorship? Here is my original post which was not accepted in the Garmin Forum:
Title: FIT to CSV Python script (high quality)
Max is a data scientist who the developed a python script which converts Garmin FIT Files to CSV:
https://maxcandocia.com/article/2017/Sep/22/converting-garmin-fit-to-csv/
The resulting data structure is very clear. Unfortunately, it is not as easy to handle as the official THIS IS ANT .FIT to CSV tool. Is it not in the interest of Garmin and the Garmin users to develop this tool further in the community?

I was asked in the Matlab community, where I discussed this subject, to replace
“censorship”
by
“Unfortunately, I always failed, and I do not understand why so?”
I can follow the arguments of the Matlab Community support team and changed my words.
I replace also here
“censorship”
by
“Unfortunately, I always failed, and I do not understand why so?”

Why is a live stream from a Garmin watch to Matlab or Python so complicated
https://www.thisisant.com/forum/viewthread/7362/
and with a Bitalino Biomedcal Toolkit so simple?

Bitalino HeartBIT BT with direct bluetooth paring to Matlab is 190 Euros:

no GPS, no Footpod, but low-cost and simple.

Bitalino offers real time recording to csv format
https://books.google.ch/books?id=Hy7EDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA6&lpg=PA6&dq=bitalino+csv&source=bl&ots=VhnxUXPFuO&sig=ACfU3U26YsvcKWiznA7Oz3xOBrdEQZyW7g&hl=de&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiDo_W43rjpAhUs86YKHe1sBicQ6AEwB3oECAoQAQ#v=onepage&q=bitalino%20csv&f=false
no conversion from intransparent Garmin .fit file format to csv, which is so complicated, that to my knowledge, nobody has demonstrated to do it by an automatic script procedure to this date.
