Garmin Connect ANT2 pairing with Forerunner 910
I am an admitted triathlon-nerd. I had only saved one windows computer to upload Garmin data from my USB 305 until I discovered http://www.andreas-diesner.de/garminplugin/doku.php. It has served me well and I no longer have any computers running windows. (about 10 running Linux). For Christmas this year my wife gave me a Garmin 910 which relies on an ANT2 USB stick to upload data. So far I have been unable to get the stick paired or working in Ubuntu. If I can simply get the data into a file on my computer so I can upload it Training Peaks, I would be grateful.
In a nutshell, what I am looking for is a way to pair the 910 to the ANT2 stick in Ubuntu 12.10. Any help would be appreciated.

Have you seen this http://blog.trails4you.de/2012/04/forerunner-910xt.html
It describe a way to download fit files from the device to computer.
With the latest gpsbabel you can also convert the fit files to gpx. Like this
~/src/gpsbabel-1.4.4/gpsbabel -i garmin_fit -f inputfile.FIT -o gpx,gpxver=1.1,garminextensions -F output.gpx
Personally I have the 305 and I'm happy with it.

I have the Edge 305 with a USB port which is no problem. I just can't seem to get the Garmin-extractor to work

I can not test this, but maybe removing the ubuntu version of python-usb
Code:
sudo apt-get remove python-usb
and install the one as described.
Code:
sudo apt-get install python-pip
sudo pip install pyusb
then try as root to run the script:
Code:
sudo python garmin.py
If it works then you can copy the udev rules and run garmin.py as normal user.
I can not guarantee that this will work but I tested without the device and the script executes well.

Thanks for the help. I still seem to have an issue.
$ sudo python garmin.py

Re: Garmin Connect ANT2 pairing with Forerunner 910
You have to be in the same catalog as garmin.py. Garmin.py is a file from the Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor package. Just unpack it. And don't be afraid to ask.
Re: Garmin Connect ANT2 pairing with Forerunner 910
Thanks, it looks I'm getting a little closer. garmin.py ran and generated a debug log file. It created a garmin-extractor file in .config which contained a file called Script but there were no Fit or data files.
Re: Garmin Connect ANT2 pairing with Forerunner 910
Do you mind sharing the output from
Code:
python --version
sudo python garmin.py
ls ~/.config/garmin-extractor/
;)

Re: Garmin Connect ANT2 pairing with Forerunner 910
You still have to be in the Garmin-Forerunner-610-Extractor folder before you run
Code:
sudo python garmin.py
;)
