PAN1327 ANT + Bluetooth issue

Robby Morrill

Hi,

I'm working on a design that currently uses the PAN1237 to talk to an ANT device (that we also built) and a BT host with an MSP430 based heavily on the Health and Fitness example. ANT communication works well, up to about 100Hz, BT works well too, but if i try to do them both simultaneously i get mostly EVENT_RX_FAIL errors from the ANT interface, and I'm not sure why. The BT connection remains stable. Does anyone else have experience running both BT and ANT on these parts?

Anyone know what the expected throughput should be if you have both interfaces running, or what the limitation might be? It looks like the HRM example runs at 4Hz? Has anyone tried anything more?

Thanks!

Hi Robby,

I don't have the answer to your question but would like to ask you what operating system are you using?

I just got the Fitness Aggregator Kit and I'm trying to start using it on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit machine; but, I get an error from the Device Driver Installation Wizard, when installing the SDK, telling me to run the 64-bit version of DPInst.exe and to contact the vendor that provided the package. The wiki does not say anything about version of Windows this is supposed to support.

Cheers,

Vladimir

Vladimir,

Sorry I can't be of much help, I am running XP 32-bit and haven't had any problems, but a quick google search makes it sound like DPInst.exe is just an installer for the associated drivers, so you could look on your own for the correct 64-bit drivers (i'm not sure what drivers are needed, would take browsing around the installer or wiki), or try to find a 64-bit version of DPInst.exe?

suggests this:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487463.aspx

could be totally off, good luck!

Thanks for your time and reply Robby. I'm checking into the info at msdn and in the meantime I will use my XP machine. Best of luck and I'll let you know if I run into anything that resembles your problem. Cheers, V.
