ANT certified utility app allowing multiple other apps to access ANT sensors.
IpSensorMan Manages the ANT interface for native ANT compatible phones or USB Host mode capable phones with a USB ATN stick, providing multiapp access to the ANT sensors in a way that the default ANT Android API will not allow although it is promised in the future.Most of the hard work for talking to the various standard sensors is provided by the app.Simplified information is broadcast to any registered application that wants access to the sensor data.The using application can request the ANT interface to be opened if required and indicate what types of sensors it is interested in.

This product is ANT certified and complies with the following specified ANT device profiles:
Bicycle speed data
Bicycle cadence data
Bicycle combined speed and cadence data
Bicycle power data
Heart rate data
IpSensorMan should recognise other ANT sensor types although full decoding support is not currently implemented.
Currently the applications using IpSensorMan are:
IpBike an ANT sensor based bike computer.https:market.android.comdetails?idcom.iforpowell.android.ipbike
IpPeloton an app to show details from other ANT heart rate monitors and power sensors.So you can easily compare your effort with your riding companions effort.https:market.android.comdetails?idcom.iforpowell.android.ippeloton

Network communications full Internet access.The crash reporting system want this.Also I collect usage stats via flurry.com.I am really interested what phones it is installed on and what ANT sensors it is used with.You can switch this off from the options.

Hardware controls ANT radio access.I won39;t be able to do much without this one.

System tools modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping.There is an option to keep ANT active when the phone is in airplane mode which us useful for saving power, this needs to modify the system settings.You still need to do the airplane mode entry yourself.This feature needs at least version 2.6 of ANT Radio Services.If we are actively monitoring the ant radio the phone will not sleep, the screen may still go off though.
