appreciate any info here as I am looking for exact parts / instructions needed to use Zwift (or other programs) with my Cyclops Mag Trainer. the more detailed the better as I am struggling (and struggle in general) with the technology and parts needed here.

you just need a bike with either ant+ speed/cadence sensor or a powemeter. if you have spd/cad zwift will calculate virtual power, if you have the pm, zwift will pick real power

i too use the same trainer like yours but i have a 4iiii pm so all i needed to was pair my sensors - hrm and the pm via bluetooth with our ipad as my pm and hrm are both ant+ and bluetooth

you will find everything you need on the link i pasted - if you will go use virtual power and only have ant+ sensors then you`ll need a dongle/garmin usb to plug into your laptop so it can read your sensors

customer support team at Zwift can help you with any questions you might have.

But basically, if you have a simple mag trainer, you only NEED:
- ANT+ speed sensor
- ANT+ dongle for your laptop
__OR__
- BLE speed sensor

If you go the BLE route, you can use Zwift with either your computer or a compatible iOS device. If you go with ANT+, you can only use it with a computer (unless you use one of the ANT->BLE bridges like 4iiii).
