Using ERG mode via BLE protocol? #45

Hi! It would be nice to have a possibility to execute a program on a smart trainer (aka FIT file in case of Garmin) hence I guess we need to find a way to use ERG mode?

Hi,

Depending on the protocol, you can activate erg mode in different ways.

FTMS: see target power mode, example here: https://github.com/zacharyedwardbull/pycycling/blob/3e3ce2df386139a0c9ec9b8fc88c9546593bc66d/examples/fitness_machine_service_example.py#L104
ANT+ FE-C over BLE: see target power mode, documentation here: https://zacharybull.com/pycycling/pycycling.tacx_trainer_control.html#smart-trainer-modes-of-operation

Let me know if you have any follow up questions.

Cheers, Zach
