Tips:

Work in a quiet room. Even ambient noise like a fan can interfere with detection.
Measure all components accurately. Material, length, and diameter all matter.
Place microphone close to the target spoke.
Hold other spokes with fingers.
Pluck the target spoke gently.

Tacx Fortius Wired to ANT+

I have an old T1942 Tacx trainer that has a wired USB connection. To make it work, I wrote some code to convert the measurements (wattage, speed and cadence) from the Tacx Fortius to ANT+ format and transmit them out an ANT+ stick. It compiles and runs in Linux but you can run it in a VM or on a $10 Raspberry Pi Zero.

So, you will need an extra ANT+ dongle (for a total of two) and either a VM (Virtualbox or VMWare player running Linux) or a Raspberry Pi.

I plan to add a Raspberry Pi image complete with compiled code and auto start in the near future.
