AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Press-hold up arrow of Newton to enter Setup.

No need to use Isaac or VA to erase data!

Your wind sensor is not functioning properly. It is under-reporting wind. This is the cause of your low watts.

Please email technicalsupport@velocomp.com for next steps.

At this point I'm done. Been a PP user since the beginning but this just doesn't work have reset it now three times, no previous profiles found when looking via Isaac, and when I set a new profile for a better but not best accuracy hoping to be able to go out and ride, I press the button, spin ever...

Isaac will continue to be available; what's different is that we won't be updating it if OS changes are required.

We will continue to add features to VA. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

With the release of Velocomp Aero (VA) for Mac/PC. version 1.0, we are strongly recommending all Velocomp power meter owners (AeroPod, PowerPod, Newton) to download and install VA software.

1). AeroPod compares applied force measurements from your standard direct force power meter (crank/pedal) to opposing force measurements made by AeroPod electronics. From this comparison the CdA number is computed in real time 2) Yes, you need a conventional direct force power meter (DFPM) 3) PowerP...

Looks like our server needs attention. We'll get it fixed...

Previous rides? Even from 3 months ago. there could be another source to recover PP profiles. Old ride files might also have the profile, if nothing else changed on the bike/rider. Or am I mistaken? The first choice would be the PP NVRAM, then a fall back would be old ride files. NVRAM will not nec...

Just work

Yes, profiles are stored in NVRAM.

Do a hard reset of your unit (press-hold button for 12 seconds, until light goes out briefly and then resumes flashing, then let go of button).

Try searching for your profiles afterwards; they should be there.

If you've upgraded to macOS Sequoia, there is an inconvenient problem in Isaac/Mac. When you click on the Download folder: Screenshot 2024 .png You'll see that all of your ride files are greyed-out; that is, you can't open them by clicking on them. Screenshot 2024-.png This is a Sequoia problem both...

Hi everyone, before proceeding with the macOS Squoia upgrade, I wanted to know if Isaac is compatible or if there are problems. Has anyone already tested it? Now on MacOs Sonoma I don't have any problems, apart from some crashes every now and then when importing files from the Powerpod. V.42, just ...

Yes, this setup and calibration looks excellent!

In looking at your ride file I see that you had, one time only, a 4 second interval where your DFPM power was a bit higher than your PP power. Two points: 1) Assessing cycling performance (or power meter performance) on the basis of a single 4-second burst of power is not terribly meaningful 2) At e...

Your ride file shows that your average wind speed is a bit higher than your average bike speed. Screenshot 2024-10-02.png This would cause PP watts to be slightly higher 4.png The way to fix this is to manually adjust the wind scaling factor in VA, such that wind speed equals bike speed. A wind scal...

CSV export works perfectly. Thank you for the quick implementation. I worked a bit on my own code to analyse the data and although I am sure yours is well thought-out, I feel more comfortable knowing how the data is processed. As expected, the absolute CdA you get is highly depending on the wind sc...

I am missing the elephant in the room!. I have VC Aero 0.4 and I have the sampling rate for PowerStroke, however I can not find where the PowerStroke is. Yes if I load Issac is there and works very well but the fact that even the image of PowerStroke is in VC Aero / About indicates that it should b...

I am looking into more testing this week and would like to have more control of the data. Alllow me to repeat my question whether you have plans to add a raw data export option (csv) to the Velocomp Aero App? I will see if this is possible. UPDATE: Yes, it is possible and we will include it in the ...

Hi John, Here are files from todays ride. I also noticed the date is wrong (that is a new thing). As has been the case since I got the unit roughly 30 seconds in the PP went into calibration modes, so I did the out and back and carried on for my ride. The unit works fine solid signal and numbers th...

Please post a ride file.

PP works with ANT+ sensors only, so you can't pair your BLE HR strap to PowerPod. HOWEVER...you are recording your HR signal in your Garmin. After completing your ride, extract the .FIT file from your Garmin using Garmin Connect. Export your .FIT file from Garmin connect as a .gpx file. In Isaac, wi...

This version adds compatibility for latest Garmin devices, including Garmin 1050

If your PP is unresponsive, do a hard reset of it: press-hold button for about 12 seconds, until light goes out briefly and then starts flashing again. Release the button.

This should fix things but if not, please email technicalsupport@velocomp.com for next steps.

We just released 0.38, which adds another level of bug fix. Let us know if it works.

We are releasing v 0.37, which hopefully will get rid of the file download bug. Let us know!

There may be a bug in VA. We are investigating.

I apologize for the very long time to reply. VA is still in beta, so your comments are helpful. I will forward your posting to the VA developer Comments from our developer: 1) In AeroPod, when a cal ride is done in P4, the results are automatically copied over into P3.
