Put yourself on the FortiusANT map!

[WouterJD]

Of cources I'm curious what athletes actually use the software and a post is appreciated, perhaps with picture and/or reference to strava or else... The list of FortiusANT users is growing:

My strava experiences can be found on: https://www.strava.com/athletes/2885978 Riding, using Trainer Road and Zwift interfacing to FortiusANT simultaneously:

I plan to use it as soon as the tacx imagic is supported by FortiusANT. And luckily that should be very soon :-)

Thanks again for all the energy you have put in this project!

Thank you @WouterJD and others for great work and the opportunity to give a second life to the old Tacx trainer. It is very bad when the manufacturer does not support old devices in any way, stimulating excess debris on our planet.

Using FortiusANT the next winter season I will be able to train with more efficiency and interest.

Thank you Wouter for your excel·lent Job and even a better support to have FortiusAnt up and running. I'm currently using it under Zwift and Rouvy. Please extend my thanks to all contributors. Ramon

Hello. Thank you for this initiative, it permits me to use old solution with Zwift ! I use Tacx Imagic 1904 with win10 and it works well. However my Tacx is not detected when I launch FortiusANT.exe (prompt opens up and down immediatly with message "Tacx not found"). However, if I launch from command prompt FortiusAnt.py, it detects Tacx, open the status windows in prompt, works and Zwift recognize it. Can you explain this behaviour ? Thank you again for this amazing job!

[vincentb2709]

I'm from France! We cannot go out or cycle so I got an old Tacx and were frustrated of its program. Thank you for this information, I understand now

[oflahero]

I have an old Fortius, and run WIndows 7. I'll certainly be trying this when Aliexpress send me the two ANT+ dongles I ordered this evening! Country has just locked down so lots of indoors training for a while :)

[WouterJD]

Keep me informed, I'm curious what USBid those dongles will use

[E-NINA]

Hello, due to this situation about Corona I was also checking my old trainner. I just relaised that Tacx Trainner Software isn't supported anymore. I've try fortiusAnt and I get working parcially as I have some issues. I'm from Portugal, Evora and I've a Fortius T1932. I've 2 ANT dongles but I realised one is very old (GARMIN USB) and as only 4 channels so no detected as a ANT dongle by ExplorANT.exe (I don't know if this is soposly to be like that but left here for reference). The other dongle works correct and is dected by ExplorANT.exe. I'm able to go ahead as I've a tablet with ANT integrated. So running fortiusant windows exe file I got the following:

• on ZWIFT detects HR but not the trainner.
• on ROUVY detects HR and also the trainer (but as soon I start pedal - fortiusant crashes) Runing PY files
• on ZWIFT detects HR but not the trainner.
• on ROUVY detects HR and also the trainer and app runs smothly.

Any hit why ZWIFT can't detect trainner?

I tested it this week and it works well with .exe on win10! Thank you! The soft is just quite slow to start (20 seconds) but do the job! Just one point, is it normal to not have possibility to have GUI? Thanks again for your job and help that is saving my Mont Ventoux training! ;)

[WouterJD]

Buon jour, Vincent

The exe unzipped itself into a temp folder and then executes; try his causes a slower start. The python version has a quicker start

No GUI is the default, -g flag provides GUI. For more info check wiki.

Succes with your moUnt Ventoux training; when do you go?

hi, I own a Tacx i-vortex (the non-smart one). Would this work with it? I might give it a try :)

[Smieszm]

Hi Wouter, I have just found your software that hopefully will clean my I-Flow Multiplayer from dust. Greeting from Poland. :) It would be great at some point if the calibration for the I-Flow would be available as it is for the Fortius. :). I will check how (and if) it works with ZWIFT - I have two ANT+ dongles which seem to be recognized by the soft. Anyway amazing job!

[WouterJD]

It would be great at some point if the calibration for the I-Flow would be available as it is for the Fortius. :).

Please check #30 where @yegorvin has done the meassurements for iMagic, if you have a powermeter then you could do the tests for iFlow. As soon as you have your iFlow working and you start with calibration, start a new issue please.

Just tried out FortiusANT on Windows this morning. I have a Fortius T1941 motor brake w/ blue T1932 head unit.

Looking forward to using it more and having a play with source. Good work!

Great and welcome in the FortiusANT community; show the results on strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/4806561

Thanks for adjusting; the list of users is longer than I can maintain and even know of; shortly I may limit to the first two people in a country or so - and then add a pin on each country on the map :-)

Funny; I looked for your name and the Cambridge-athlete is a (reasonable, quick) look alike based upon the foto. This is better though!

Hi, this is a great facility for us who don't have or can't get smart trainers. (Cost!) Thank you for you efforts. I've connected my Fortius (0x1932) and can see output data for all parameters, however in 'Run mode' the Target stays fixed at 100W. I'm using GoldenCheetah (GC) as the trainer app, and it seems that either GC is not sending data to Fortius, or Fortius is not accepting. Even if I use manual ERG mode and increase or decrease load, there is no change on the trainer.

1. Where does the Target come from?
2. Does FortiAnt send info back to the trainer?

Thanks again for this utility.

B.

Thank you WouterJD for a very quick response. My name is Brian from South Africa. RLV rides are real life videos for the Tacx trainer.

Hi Wouter, I'm in the UK. I picked up a Tacx i-Magic t1904 a few weeks back to keep cycling during lock down. At the moment, stuck with the Fortius software as the ANT+ dongles I bought are the currently unreliable CYCPLUS type. Running the software on a Mac.

[Smieszm]

Hi Shaun .I am using Cycplus dongles. No issues with them so far. Installed easy. Maybe reinstall The driver?

@Smieszm I'm using a Mac. ANT+ support is built in to the OS. There's no extra driver like on Windows. Interesting that your dongle works though as they're unreliable for other people.

[Smieszm]

@Shaun , I am using Windows 10.The only issue is The trainer i-Flow Multiplayer that cannot be properly calibrated like Fortius. I am only able to manualy adjust the resistance instead of Zwift. Hope this can be fixed at some point ;) with The New release od Fortius Ant

@Wouter. Just in case you are not yet checked, since the addition of Page 54 support, FortiusAnt 2.6 is now compatible with Tacx Desktop Application. I'm had rode several sessions under this TAD application. Very Good job Wouter 👍

@Smieszm welcome on board assisting with these CYCLPLUS dongles! Where are you from? I like to know where the FortiusANT users are and you might add a country to the list!

PS. Please exchange info on the issue-pages, this page is to introduce ourselves - as far as we like to of course.

Great to see that so many Tacx-ers are working together!

[Endres-to]

I have been using the FortiusANT on WIN7 with BigRingVR on Win10. The trainer is Tacx multiplayer T2200 (Brake T1901 and head T1932 Fortius)

I do not think the reported Watt is correct – at least it's only 2/3 of what I get when I am using the original Taxc software.

It this combination supposed to work and be autodetected by the software? Do I have to run the Python code and manipulate anything (Legacy power?) or option 1,2,3 grade to power?

[WouterJD]

Hi @Endres-to How are you today and welcome on the FortiusANT team. Always curious to know where you come from.

The power reported is the formula as fitting to the T1932 headunit; that's the device I know that is being connected. If you have additional information, such as a real-life measurement (power meter) together with the data the trainer reports, it's always possible to investigate the rootcause.

Suggestion to do: run FortiusANT in manual power mode (-m flag), record the test that is done and measure the "real" power with a power-meter. Analysis can then be done. If you might need legacy power, that would be an option to implement.

In release 3.0 the options have been removed; these affect the Grade2POwer conversion and have no impact on the reported power however. Please have a test and let me know.

[Frenske8]

Hi, thank you for developing FortiusAnt! I'm running it on Win10 since a week. After changing an Ant-stick (branded Anself, but manufacturer CYCPLUS.) it works great. Now I can use nu 10 year old Fortius-trainer with Veloreality. BTW I'm from Eindhoven.

[WouterJD]

Frenske dank voor de reactie; Wouter uit Elst in de Betuwe. Groeten!
