PowerPod and Newton Forum - VelocompForum

Yes, my bad. 1) AeroPod picks up DFPM cadence data. Additional sensor not required 2) AeroPod does not record additional DFPM data such as pedal smoothness. If your bike computer displays it, that's where you see it 3) AeroPod receives DFPM data. AeroPod transmits DFPM power, CdA, wind speed, time a...

Looks like you had head/tail winds. If so, then you're OK

Your MTB would benefit from an out-and-back setup. Wind scaling is too low.

Your CdA is set for a TT bike, and your Crr is low.

I've attached corrected ride file and profile.

1) PP picks up DFPM cadence data. Additional sensor not required

2) AeroPod does not record DFPM additional data. If your bike computer displays it, that's where you see it

3) PP receives DFPM data. PP transmits DFPM power, CdA, wind speed, time advantage, slope, data

Your calibration looks reasonable; I looked at the ride file following your cal ride.

Attaching Newton to your TT bars won't work. The bars are too flexible for the required accuracy of CdA measurement.

Find a way to attach Newton to your top tube, then run a hose from Newton to the front of your bike. This will work great.

If you pair your HR strap to PP with the Scan process, you will see HR data in Isaac.

Your ride is only 6 minutes long.

Your PP is attempting to recalibrate itself but you need to ride at least 8 minutes. Your ride file is only 6 minutes long.

FW 5 holds contrast level at "15".

We ceased production of Newton in 2015, and we have not updated firmware since then.

We can provide you version 4 of FW, which I believe has the contrast option, but understand that if you load FW 4.x, you will lose all the improvements made in FW 5.

If you did a "hard reset" of your unit, the internal clock is reset. Reconnect your device to Isaac and the date will be automatically reset. If you had "0" for your ride file distance, likely this is related to issue 1 above. Please post a .ibr ride file that illustrates your distance mismatch prob...

Display contrast has been eliminated.

This ride is very close.

You adjusted CdA up to .363...much better for your road bike.

PP watts are 119...DFPM watts 113. I don't know where your 155 number comes from.

Ahh...if your commuter bike is a road bike, then both CdA and Crr are wrong.

Yes, please do a new calibration, and post the ride file AFTER the calibration.

Please post your entire ride file. In general the component numbers don't add up to the total number. There's lots of averaging that goes on when computing the components, whereas the total power number doesn't average the constituent parts; it adds the instantaneous components, "live". The other th...

Your two ride files are quite different in wind speed. I don't know which one to "believe". Also, your CdA is a number that is appropriate for a TT bike...not a commuter bike. Finally, your Crr is high, but if you're on a commuter bike it probably is OK. Please do a new calibration ride, then post t...

Everything is in good shape. CdA and Crr are appropriate, and calibration looks fine (though it does look like you were riding in some big winds!).

hello john today I recalibrated the Powerpod after having dismantled and reassured everything. I am attaching the calibration and also a ride that I did to return home. it seemed strange to me to do 300 or a peak of 500 watts. iBike_05_04_2018_0932_4_km_CalRide.ibrI attach everything to you.iBike_0...

Please post the ride file you did AFTER calibration.

Yikes, the FW update should have no effect on pairing.

Please email me at jhamann@velocomp.com for next steps.

Please post the ride file you did AFTER your cal ride.

I don't think we have any way to output raw CdA data.

One thing you can do is put lap markers in your file, then get CdA stats for each lap. This is how I do equipment/position comparisons.

Isaac will be updated later this year to Mac 64 bit app. No changes planned to interface or functionality.

Q1: Yes. It just isn't on our list

Q2: email technicalsupport@velocomp.com for next steps

AeroPod operates as a stand-alone power meter. It's electronics, wind measurement system, and firmware are improved compared to PowerPod, and in our testing, we do see improved performance in cross-wind situations in particular. I'm NOT knocking PowerPod...it remains a great product. At present, Aer...

To recalibrate, connect PP to Isaac, then use the "Device/Setup Device..." wizard. This will put your PP into calibration mode.
