Implementing Suunto HRT belt and sensors #853

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

Hi, i know MyTracks supports ANT+ sensors while Suunto uses the slightly 
different version ANT, but i just recently found out that some Sony Ericsson 
Xperia smartphones natively support also Suunto's version of ANT.

This is the information i found:

It would be GREAT to implement this in MyTracks, it should be quick to 
integrate it because apparently you only need to add the private network key 
while the rest is virtually identical to ANT+.

There is already a tracking application for android that uses this ANT system, 
called "Realtime Events", but it's ugly and not even in the same league as 
Mytracks.
Anyway i tested this "Realtime Events" app with my Sony Xperia Arc S and it 
works, it connected to my Suunto HRT belt and it's reading the data from it.

It would be even better if it was possible to read also speed and cadence 
sensors, i read somewhere that this is already in the plans for MyTracks for 
ANT+ sensors.

Im available to help for eventual beta testing.
