This one for all you Computrainer users out there.

I have a lot of Ant+ stuff, HR traps, Cadence/Speed sensors etc which I use with my Garmin 310, 705, iPhone etc (OK I'm a bit of a geek).

I also then bought a Computrainer but the peripheral interfaces for the CT are stone-aged, so barely wireless for HR and wired for Cadence...

SO, what to do?!

Enter ctAnt:

You need the software above and a Garmin Ant+ dongle, follow the instructions here:

And your Computrainer arrives squarely in the 21st century.

HAPPY TRAINING!

Great, they are making progress, but it looks like a software plug-in only. The Computrainer software and handlebar box will stay as cr@p as ever  
I have a Computrainer, but it is way behind Tacx and Elite in terms of software and the  bike mount is outdated technology from 20 years ago.

It looks like the software is due for an update in the near future:

Racermate one looks very good! It is long overdue.

Racermate one still might not include the Ant+ bit.  They have committed to continuing interoperability with the ctAnt tool.

I've been using PerfPro Studio (including analyzer)

Brilliant! ANT+ is integrated, has option for spinscan (using computrainer cadence sensor) and lots of other great stuff. Continuously being improved and Drew is great with customer service - responds to questions and requests very quickly.
Also a good price compared to Racermate and stand alone ctANT.

Does anyone actually use their computertrainer to its full potential? By that I mean other than just riding courses?
