Tacx genius not found #449

Closed jobruiter closed 5 months ago

jobruiter commented 6 months ago

Hi,

I am in the following situation: I have a Tacx Genius (srnr: 211101565) that i want to connect with Zwift through FortiusANT with an ANT+ dongle. FortiusANT does recognize the ANT dongle, but doesnt find a tacx trainer. As you can see in the screenshot underneath.

Question: How can i connect the tacx trainer to FortiusANT to Zwift. On one laptop and one ANT dongle.

If more information is needed to help me, please ask me. I am quite new to this software and tacx.

Thank you in advance! I need to get in shape this winter ;)

Welcome to the FortiusANT community

I'm always curious to know who I communicate with, where FortiusANT is used and what configuration is used. Please tell me what bundle did you buy, and what brake and what head unit do you use? I would therefore appreciate that you introduce yourself; perhaps leave a comment under issue #14. You could also consider to visit the sponsor page

To connect to a Genius, you need an ANT-dongle for FortiusAnt. As you can see in the second message, the ANT-dongle is not available; most likely because other software has attached to it.

Note that you need a dongle per program: Zwift, FortiusAnt, Garmin connect, ...

For a starter: how many dongle do you have (1) and what other software is running (2). Watch out for Garmin Express, which keeps running in background

Since there is no communication here, I assume can be closed. If not happy to reopen
