Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike
On an Elliptigo you stand up pretty straight, which means that CdA is higher. If CdA is too high then you'll see high watts when traveling at high speeds. I looked at your ride file with a CdA of .575; that does seem to fix the few outlier spots. Let me know how your next ride proceeds. PS: I used t...

Re: Outdoor Velodrome Calibration
An outdoor velodrome is a closed loop (a good thing). If you're planning to do aero testing, make sure your AP is set to profile 4. When calibrating AP at an outdoor velodrome, ride your loops up to the 50W point; the number will stall at 50 and the status light turn red. Slow down to a near stop (8...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike
Great, thanks! After sending that profile to the device, should I do a new calibration ride? Or is it good to go? You're good to go; no need to recalibrate. I think it is really neat that you're getting power numbers from your Elliptigo. You might want to tell Elliptigo about how you are using PP a...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike
You have good intuition! When coasting down a hill, CdA will be correct when the "braking" disappears. In your case, applying a CdA of 0.65 to your profile 1, and applying this profile to your "profile 2" ride, results in everything looking great. Load the attached profile into y...

Re: Problema PP con Sensores
Does it look like this? This sensor should work with PowerPod. I suggest you pair the sensor to your bike computer, then spin the wheel and confirm on your bike computer that the sensor is sending information. Assuming the sensor is functioning, try pairing it to your PP. If sensor is functioning bu...

Re: Calibration Issues
Do a hard reset (press-hold for 12 secs; after a few seconds light will flash green, keep holding button until light goes out briefly, then starts flashing again. Release the button).
Hopefully this will fix things.

Re: weird Power numbers
The hard reset restores the proper sequencing of internal software commands. Your profile data is unchanged, so there is no need to do a hard reset for each profile.
If you want to add sensor IDs to your different profiles, you will need to do a new sensor pairing and cal ride for each profile.

Re: weird Power numbers
In regards to BLE, only my phone is connected to the Garmin. Mainly for "Live track". All sensors and PP are via Ant+. When I perform any sensor /PP , phone is not in the area. This is very odd, because we do not transmit the word "PowerPod" by ANT+; only in our BLE transmission...

Re: weird Power numbers
I looked at your ride files. Cadence data is missing from all of them, so I suggest you do a new sensor pairing with your new cadence sensor. Before starting pairing, use your bike computer to be sure your speed and cadence sensors are working. I don't see any data dropouts in your ride files, so I ...

Re: Cadence Sensor Effect?
PowerStroke works in part by precisely measuring the time between the crank passing-by the same point on the bike. When we created PS it was simple: whenever the cadence magnet passed by the sensor a signal was sent. I don't know how either the Garmin or Wahoo cadence sensors work, but I suspect bot...

You are getting very peculiar slope spikes. Please show photos of how your unit is attached.
Make sure your unit cannot rotate at all...
