Is the fenix 6 be supported? I always get DriverNotFound.

The usb vendor and device seems to be different from the one in the source code. This is my dmesg:

[172678.882924] usb 2-1.2: new high-speed USB device number 13 using xhci_hcd
[172678.983191] usb 2-1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=091e, idProduct=0003, bcdDevice= 0.01
[172678.983196] usb 2-1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=0, Product=0, SerialNumber=0

The Fenix is a end consumer device not a USB ANT radio device. You need a USB ANT device to communicate via the ANT protocol with a Fenix 6. See https://github.com/Tigge/openant#ant-usb-stick

You can actually broadcast your wrist heart rate if not using a HR strap from a Fenix 6 and quite a few other Garmin watches if you turn the setting on 👍 https://support.garmin.com/en-AU/?faq=Zj1947s6pqAHzBCAhLhrC9
