Wahoo SC & Suunto Ant+ & GC on Ubuntu

[Chris Scott]

I am planning the hardware setup in the title of this message using the hardware listed below. I'm a bit of a Linux rookie so not 100% sure of the USB stick - has anyone else used this setup before I buy the lot? If so, how easy is the USB installation using Ubuntu?

Many thanks!

Hi,

I can't speak for the Wahoo S&C sensor, but I have the movestick mini
and there are no issues with it.

The only gotcha with Linux is ensuring you have permissions for GC to
natively claim the device when you start train mode (will likely be
claimed by the usb serial driver when inserted), but that's just a one
line udev entry..

Not sure whether the current Ubuntu package already includes a udev
rule, if not, this works for me (on Fedora) -

ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fcf", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1008", MODE="0666"

Regards,
Jon

I've had mixed success.  Principally the setup of the USB stick is easy (adding the udev rule), however I find that successful use is dependent on the machine hardware.  On one laptop that I have, the USB3 bus resets after 70 seconds of use in Train mode, GC doesn't appear to recover so I end up with no further recorded data.  On another laptop, the USB2 interface doesn't suffer from the same resets, so Train mode works just fine.  I also have to wait a minute or so before hitting the start button in Train mode to give it time to find the sensors.  It doesn't indicate that they're found until you hit the start button.
