funny how "the beginning of the end" kind of sounds excellent.
- fer 2y agoYou skipped: > They are ceasing development of new ANT+ Profiles Which kind of ensures a slow death, as new devices potentially would require them.
- notatoad 2y agothe most recent profile they added was an update to the cycling shifter profile. before that, the most recent actual new device type they added was radars in 2016. ant+ is not a protocol that has or needs to have frequent updates. opening it up could have been a lot more significant than stopping the development of new profiles.
