    Hi,

    I have got a turbo for Christmas, its an elite magforce, doesn't have a power/speed sensor.

    I have a wahoo speed/cadence sensor, that works over bluetooth to my phone & polar v800, but is capable of ant+ also
    I have a tacx t1994 hrm, which does ant+ & btle, and connects to my phone & polar v800.

    I am looking to use zwift or golden cheetah (preferably golden cheetah) to log my workouts on the trainer.

    I got a suunto movestick mini ant+ usb stick, based on amazon & dcrainmaker reviews, but can't seem to get zwift to pickup the wahoo or the tacx.

    anybody know if these do work together, and if they do, is there anything I need to do?

    I have tested on win10 & win7

    I can't speak for your specific hardware, but have you tried getting the ANT+ stick right down next to the devices to pair? My Garmin stick wouldn't find a Garmin cadence sensor until I put the laptop right beside it. I'm pretty sure DCRay has recommended putting the ANT+ on a USB extension near the front of the bike for decent reception.

    Thanks for getting back to me :)

    I was wearing my hrm when I was trying to set this up, so the distance was no more than half a meter.
    I have tried again, with the hrm touching the suunto stick, no joy...

    I have done a little bit more testing, and have been able to install some ant+ plugins onto my phone, and have used a usb otg cable with the suunto stick, and strava picks up the hrm no problem.
    Golden cheetah & zwift seem to react differently when the ant+ stick is unplugged from my laptop, which suggests that they are seeing the stick.

    each component seems to be working, but to get them to work together is the problem :/
