The device driver for your ANT+ usb stick needs to be updated to be compatible with the Node usb and ant-plus modules. This updated driver is partially backwards compatible and will break some functionality in existing applications such as Zwift (calibrating ANT+ FE-C devices becomes unavailable for example).

Install

  1. Download and run Zadig
  2. With Zadig open select Options -> List All Devices
  3. In the device drop down select your ANT+ usb stick device
  4. Toggle the driver selector to "libusb-win32". Selecting "libusb-win32" is very important to retain partial compatibility with other applications. zadig1
  5. Click either the "Replace Driver", "Downgrade Driver" or "Reinstall Driver" button to complete the installation.
