Hi Marco - Yes, I'm still working on this. However, this is a side project that I primarily work on in the winter months. My free time this summer has been consumed with travel and working on my house. Unfortunately, I've only programmed support for the ANT+ Wireless protocol. So OrbRider won't recognize anything using Bluetooth at this time. Progress is slow right now but its definitely something I'm still working on and will continue to update. In fact, I already have a new version that implemented a new vegetation generator but I want to finish coding functionality that allows users to save their settings before I release the next version.
Hello Jeff,I just found out about this project and I have just downloaded the software and had a look without a trainer. I am a game artist (teacher) and I am intrigued by this project. Are you still interested to develop this project further from time to time? If so is there a way to contact you?
@marco72 Please check out version 1.2.6. I've added support for speed sensors which will allow you to use your "dumb-trainer" and a $35 speed sensor. I have not added Bluetooth support yet so you may also need to buy a $35 ANT+ USB dongle for your PC/Mac but I think this is still a pretty affordable setup.
Hi @Milan Van Damme,
Yes, I'm still working on this project. I check in here frequently and you can also contact me at orbjeff@orbrider.com.
Thanks,
Jeff
If you downloaded the beta, please let me know how it worked with your equipment. The name/model of smart trainer that you own and any issues you had.
