Max sensors limit? #12

Closed dburongarcia closed 6 years ago

dburongarcia commented 6 years ago

Hello, I would like to know how many sensors would it be able to connect simultaneously? Usually with a USB dongle is 8, but I wonder if it could reach this limit or even overcome it. Thanks

Loghorn commented 6 years ago

The limit depends on the actual USB stick and is imposed by hardware, so it can't be surpassed. You can get your stick limit by reading the maxChannels property

Thanks, so that means the issue https://github.com/Loghorn/ant-plus/issues/10 is solved and there is no software limitation then, even for more than 8 sensors? I asked because there are some special USB dongles that allow 40 simultaneous connections.

As far as I know there is no software limit but I never tried those dongles: If you do, let me know the result. Thank you.
