Garmin FR70 problems

[dje7]

I've not done much coding/programming ever, so please forgive me if this has already been answered.
I can't seem to figure out what I need to do to fix this error which is preventing me from getting the data off of my ANT stick which is USB2 for my Garmin FR70.

Hi,

I'm not exactly sure what's happening here. You might try checking out a copy of latest code from git and running that. If you need help with that I can try to provide some more detailed instructions.

That said, I think the FR70 is a newer device? More recent Garmin devices use a different protocol for downloading data. I can't be sure, but I think you'll want to use this https://github.com/Tigge/Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor to get data off your watch.

Braiden, yes please. I was able to checkout revision 82 of the Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor, but I'm not sure how to go about installing it.

The FR70 uses a USB2 ANT stick.
I did create a rule in my rules.d folder which says:
KERNEL=="3-1", ATTR{idVendor}=="0fcf", ATTR{idProduct}=="1008", SYMLINK+="ttyUSB0", MODE="0660", ACTION=="add"
That seems to work using garmin-ant-downloader, but it downloads a 32kb file named .gant that I don't know what to do with. Thanks.

Hmm. I was able to install, but when I run python garmin.py I get an error. I'll look through the issues over at the Github site for Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor to see what I can come up with. Thanks again for your help.
