AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Thanks Pete. That worked.

Hi, I've borrowed a DFPM from a buddy and it's working fine on the Newton as well as reviewing the data in Isaac. The question I have is how to control which data is saved in the .csv for exporting to Trainingpeak etc, (DFPM data vs Newton data)? The reason I'm asking is the numbers are different an...

Thanks John, that makes sense. And I didn't know about the merging of files, so that's great to hear. Will I have the option of selecting either DFPM or Newton power #'s? Unfortunately, they are vastly different.

Today I got my paws on a friend's Stages to check the calibration of my Newton. Prior to this, I've had my Newton broadcasting the power numbers to my Garmin 510. Never an issue. Today with the Stages on, my Newton picked it up just fine. When I uploaded my Garmin data, there was no power info at al...

Hi, Just so I'm clear, when you go to check calibration, the original is the profile in the device during the ride, and the estimated is new calculation? And also, can the check calibration be done on a Cal Ride, or should it be done on a subsequent ride? I've done it on Cal Rides and I'm always a b...

I'm having problems downloading my last 2 rides stored on my Newton. Isaac shows all the other rides that have been downloaded and not deleted except the last 2 I'm looking for. Even when I go into "show download window" to select the individual rides to download 1 at a time, the rides don...

Seems that no one at Velocomp is caring too much about this issue. Hopefully the new update to Isaac will help.

I'm getting the "Labview: Memory is Full" message still. It seems to happen after a 0km ride ends up on the Newton. This usually occurs after a ride in the rain. Anyway, is there a fix in the works? Just wondering if it's a Newton or an Isaac thing. I'm attaching 2 screenshots of the messa...

Dammit, I always do that! Here is the ibr file.

I had my cadence sensor come loose during a race. I've tried highlighting the section without cadence data, but it gave some pretty over the top power figures. It's almost as though it ignores the wind. I just wonder if I'm doing something wrong.
Thanks.

I have a quick question about wind scaling. If you're in profile, and a wind cal is required for whatever reason, is that wind scaling value applied to the profile or the unit?
Thanks.

Thanks John! And thanks for the description. That makes a lot more sense to me now.
Have you or anyone you know tried a sort of rain deflector over the front of the ibike? Something far enough away to allow air in but still keeps the rain out? I know the air tube extension helps out with this.

Hi, I've brought this up before with 0 feedback, so I'm revisiting it. My understanding of a blocked wind port, is it essentially mimics (and accentuates) the effect of riding in bunch: the measured wind decreases thus recorded power drops. My Newton has been known to the do the complete opposite: p...

Great, I look forward to seeing what's happening here.

Thanks Russ.
All that popped up was possibly having 0km rides on the Newton or freeing up virtual memory. The latter means nothing to me, so moving onto the former. I tried uploading from the device 1 ride at a time, then got a new message, which is attached. Essentially, still not working.

I was downloading a ride from my Newton to Isaac, and I got this message plus a lot of other hi-tech speak. In the end, the rides were lost and didn't make it into Isaac. I've attached 2 screen shots with the messages I received before I clicked OK and the message after I clicked OK. My question is,...

In my experience last year with my Newton, riding in the rain always resulted in much lower power numbers. Recently, I've had the opposite happen: power numbers go through the roof!! I can't understand why. Does anybody have any ideas?

I have to admit, that the numbers do seem ok when riding. My only concern was the major change in the friction and tilt values between the first cal ride (April 13) and the recent cal ride (May 5). Tilt has gone from -0.9 to 0.5. The Newton position on the stem has not changed at all. Tires have not...

John, here's the latest cal ride that was done with a no-wind cal ride. Values are quite similar.

Ok, so what I've done here is posted the cal ride BEFORE weird stuff started happening, and then 2 after (to show consistency). All of these were done in perfect conditions (quiet roads, no wind changes, no drafting, out and back course, good cal wind done, tire pressure checked beforehand, Newton i...

I've had the Newton for about a year now. I recently bought a new stem (went from 6 degree to 17 degree angle) so I did a new cal ride and everything seemed fine. Then one day I started riding and the numbers weren't right. Stuff like 300W on a flat piece of road when the heart rate is at 120 and yo...

I finally was able to get out on the road last week. I used the same profile stored in Profile 1 (P1) that I had used last fall. The first few rides, no problems at all. Then, one morning I turned the Newton on, and I got "Do Cal"/"------" showing on the screen. I hadn't touched ...

I have the Newton with the GT firmware upgrade so that my Garmin can get the power numbers. To my pleasant surprise, it also gets the rpms! I use GPS for speed and distance on the Garmin. I recently tried using the ibike provided speed/cadence sensor with the Garmin. The Garmin recognizes the sensor...

Oohhh, I see!! It pops up automatically! Ok, I guess I should be on my bike playing with it and not on my couch to see it in action.
Thanks for the help!

I'm bit unclear with the instructions for the Snapshot CdA. Step 3 says "Select the power window on your Newton Screen". I'm not exactly sure what the "power window" is. Can anyone guide me a bit further here? I see there is the CdA on/off in the racer menu. Is that it? Thanks in...

Fernando, Here is the last Cal Ride I did. I would say I've done about 15 so far since having the Newton. They all generally have had some values relatively close to one another. This last one though, I had concern with I find the friction value to be about double what the all the other have had (ge...

Thanks for the insight guys. Fernando, I've attached 2 rides. One (06_15_2013) where I specifically went and rode fairly hard over the top and down the other side of a hill. Around 19km, you can see the large spike. And the Newton is on the bar. Then the other (06_18_2013) where I was going moderate...

After many months of wrestling with cal rides and profiles and seeming to get really wonky power numbers, I decided to cave and just use a quick start profile. Once I did, everything seemed about right and I was happy with the numbers. Except for one thing: descents. If I'm pedalling, the power numb...

I had a factory profile emailed to me. I uploaded to my device and attempted a Cal Ride. I didn't do anything to the profile before uploading. While I was doing the cal ride, the speed on my newton was frozen at the speed I was doing when I started the cal ride. As I was going along, the odometer wa...

Does anyone have any suggestions for attempting to clean out the wind port on my Newton? Seems I've been doing alot of riding and racing in the rain. Where's there's rain, there's grit. When I look at my sock line after a race in the rain, I can't help but wonder how much of this grit is getting in ...
