Tacx Fortius Update
Posted:adminToday Tacx announced and made available open ANT+ trainer profile support. This support (technically called FE-C, for Fitness Equipment – Controls), allows any 3rd party app to control certain Tacx trainers, as part of their. Revitalvision software development.
These trainers were introduced last fall at Eurobike 2014, and were made widely available shortly thereafter. The trainers are attractive in that they support dual ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart broadcasts. This means that any ANT+ capable head unit (be it a Garmin device or a PowerTap Joule) can pickup the signals. Similarly, any Bluetooth Smart device (such as those from Polar and Suunto) could conceivably pickup the broadcasts of power, speed, and cadence.
Support > Training Software Tacx Software TTS4 end of support. Tacx has announced that it will discontinue support for this software on and that with a Windows 10 'Major Update' there is a risk that videos will no longer run.
The challenge however, was that while the Tacx Smart trainers (Bushido, Vortex and Satori) broadcasts open ANT+/BLE, they didn’t allow for control of the trainer. Instead that required the Tacx suite of applications, albeit available on Android, iOS and PC. That also meant that one couldn’t use any of the more open control, like that of the. With the Tacx FE-C control though, that fully changes. This is in some ways one of the lesser kept secrets out there, with some news slipping out by a 3rd party back a number of months ago as to the planned support. Still, it’ll be much appreciated by many given the lower prices of the Tacx trainers.
Supported Trainers Tacx has rolled out control within their Smart series of trainers that support resistance control. This means that these trainers can have the resistance dynamically changed by apps as those apps see fit. For example, if you’re climbing a hill, the app will automatically change the resistance. Similarly, if you’re doing interval workouts the trainer will automatically iterate through different wattages.
Tacx has a number of trainers that support resistance control, but only some of them do so electronically. And a further subset are labeled ‘Smart’ trainers, which means they have dual protocol support. The trainers that support ANT+ FE-C (trainer control) are: A) Tacx Bushido Smart Trainer B) Tacx Vortex Smart Trainer Why not other trainers? Well, Tacx has said that their other electronic trainers (such as their Genius and non-Smart series) don’t have enough channels on the older ANT+ chips within them to enable control. Similarly, for cheaper trainers such as their Tacx Satori Smart, that doesn’t support automated (computerized) control, since it has a cable control mechanism – so that’s not supported either. To summarize, the following trainers are not supported: A) Tacx Satori Smart (physically cable-controlled) B) Tacx Genius series (older non-Smart unit, they haven’t released a ‘Genius Smart’ model) C) Tacx Bushido (non-Smart) D) Tacx Vortex (non-Smart) E) Anything else that’s not in the section previous to this So how do you upgrade your trainer? Via a simple app.
Tacx today released a, this app connects to your Smart series trainer and updates the trainer’s firmware. Once upgraded, then 3rd party apps that support the ANT+ Trainer Profile can control it as they see fit. As for Android support, that’s coming shortly – Tacx is aiming for the end of June to have that complete. If you look back to other companies that initially supported firmware updates wirelessly, such as Wahoo Fitness, it was similar with iOS first. As I noted then – if you lack an iOS phone yourself, simply offer an iOS friend a beer in exchange for the few minutes to upgrade your trainer. You only need it for the initial upgrade.
Supported Apps One of the challenges that I’ve complained about with the ANT+ Trainer Control support is that it not only lacked any trainers, but lacked any apps to support it. Thankfully, Tacx seems to have knocked out two birds with one stone. Not only did they release the firmware update today, but the three big apps in the trainer profile space have also announced near-immediate availability of support in their lineup. Trainer Road: Their update will allow both iOS and Desktop control of the Tacx Smart series trainers in the next few days. They plan to roll out support later today (Tuesday).
