# pycycling

A Python package for interacting with Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) compatible bike trainers, power meters, radars and
heart rate monitors.

The package uses [Bleak (Bluetooth Low Energy platform Agnostic Klient)](https://github.com/hbldh/bleak)
behind the scenes to connect and communicate with bike trainers. Bleak is cross-platform with support for Windows,
MacOS, and Linux. Please refer to the Bleak repository for more information about supported platforms.

## Disclaimer

__I take no responsibility if the use of this package breaks your turbo trainer or stationary bike. Use at your own
risk!__

The package has been tested with (tested protocols in brackets):

- a Tacx NEO trainer (ANT+ FE-C over BLE, CPS, CSCS)
- a Tacx NEO 2T trainer (ANT+ FE-C over BLE, CPS, CSCS)
- an Elite Sterzo Smart steering plate (STERZO)
- a pair of Garmin Vector 3 power meter pedals (CPS)
- a Garmin RVR315 rear view radar (RDR)
- a Magene S3+ Speed/Cadence sensor (CSCS)
- an Elite Suito-T smart trainer (CPS, CSCS, FTMS)
- an Elite Justo smart trainer (CPS, CSCS, FTMS)
- an Elite Rizer grade simulator (RIZER)

Please let me know if you have used it with another device, and I will add it to the list.

## Supported protocols

* Battery Service (BAS)
* Cycling Power Service (CPS)
* Cycling Speed and Cadence Service (CSCS)
* Elite Sterzo Steering Service (STERZO)
* Elite Rizer Steering Service (RIZER)
* FiTness Machine Service (FTMS)
* Heart Rate Service (HRS)
* Rear View Radar (RDR)
* Tacx Trainer Control (ANT+ FE-C over BLE)

## Installation

Clone this repo and then run the following command from the root directory

```
python setup.py develop
```

## Documentation
