Magene Ant Usb Driver ~upd~ | Browser |
Magene ANT+ USB stick is a plug-and-play adapter that enables your computer to communicate with cycling sensors (power meters, heart rate monitors, trainers) using the ANT+ wireless protocol
. While often automatic, driver issues can prevent apps like TrainerRoad Garmin Express from detecting your sensors. TrainerRoad Quick Setup & Driver Installation
For most modern Windows 10 and 11 systems, the driver should install automatically when you plug the device in. If it fails, follow these methods: Manual ANT Dongle Driver Install magene ant usb driver
5. Testing & Verification
Q2: Can I use a Garmin ANT+ stick with the Magene driver?
A: Yes. The driver is chipset-specific, not brand-specific. A Garmin, Suunto, or Magene stick all use the same driver. However, you may need to manually select the driver via "Update Driver" → "Let me pick" → "ANT USB Stick."
2. Device Identification
| Property | Value |
|------------------|-------------------------------------------|
| Vendor ID (VID) | 0x0FCF (Dynastream Innovations) |
| Product ID (PID) | 0x1008 (standard ANT USB2 stick) or 0x1009 (Magene variant) |
| USB Class | 0x02 (Communications and CDC Control) |
| Subclass | 0x02 (Abstract Control Model) |
| Endpoints | Bulk IN (0x81), Bulk OUT (0x02) | Magene ANT+ USB stick is a plug-and-play adapter
Note: Magene sticks may re-use Dynastream-compatible IDs. Verify using
lsusb(Linux) or Device Manager (Windows).
4. Disable Bluetooth on the PC
If your PC has built-in Bluetooth, it operates on the same 2.4 GHz spectrum. While the driver handles ANT+, overlapping signals can cause packet loss. Disable Bluetooth in Device Manager when running critical intervals or races. Note: Magene sticks may re-use Dynastream-compatible IDs
3. Compatibility Features
- Works with Windows 7, 8, 10, 11 (both 32/64-bit).
- Required for Zwift, TrainerRoad, Rouvy, GoldenCheetah, PerfPro – apps that need direct ANT+ radio access.
- Not needed on macOS (built-in FTDI/silicon labs drivers often work) or Android/iOS (OTG direct support).
Q4: Do I need the driver if I use Bluetooth on my Magene sensors?
A: No. The Magene ANT USB driver is exclusively for ANT+ dongles. If your computer has native Bluetooth (or you use a Bluetooth dongle), you do not need this driver. However, ANT+ offers lower latency and better multi-sensor handling than Bluetooth.
4. Driver Functionality
The driver exposes a standard serial interface with the following parameters:
| Parameter | Value | |------------------|---------------------| | Baud rate | 115200 (or 57600 on older sticks) | | Data bits | 8 | | Parity | None | | Stop bits | 1 | | Flow control | None |
