AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

The spdfail message is normal with the Newton. I know it seems like the unit is confused about where it is, but just because you see the spdfail message on the screen shouldn't cause computer communication problems. Be sure you have tried all the typical troubleshooting steps. (E.g., plug directly i...

Send the ride file and I'll take a look at it. tpape at velocomp.

Send us your ride file(s) and a bit more explanation if you like. I'm not sure if I understand the issue.

Any ideas or do I have a defective unit, bad firmware flash? No, I am seeing the same phenomenon as you so it's not a defective unit. There is not a quick and easy way to debug it. The FW developer and I will have to get our heads together and try to find where the disagreement is coming in. If I h...

Hi bjrmd,

Thanks for posting your files. I took a quick look and I don't have an answer for the disconnect yet. I will be traveling this weekend and won't have a chance to look at it until I get back, but I wanted to let you know I'll try to figure out what is happening.

The Newton is not designed to act as a storage device to the host computer, so it does not mount and create a storage icon. To check that it is connected & charging, you can use the SW to download a ride or get the serial number. If the unit is connected to the computer, it is charging. You can ...

My issue is that in Analyze Route, if I check that ride started and ended in the same place, ISAAC changes the average wind to 0.0 and my average watts increases by 11 watts. So my question is whether or not to indicate the ride started and finished in the same place? I know 11 watts is not a big d...

I have looked into this bug and can repeat the problem. Unfortunately, this is a bug related to the development system and is not something that I can fix easily, nor are there any workarounds that would not be massive undertakings. I have reported the bug to the makers of the development system and...

Did you try more than once? You could have had a connectivity issue on your end. It might have been a temporary server issue also.

I'm sorry, I was not clear. I am using the Check Calibration feature under the tools menu. The result is only a slight change, and therefore I won't mess with it. Good, that's exactly the way to use the feature. You can expect small changes from ride to ride just due to the fact that the weather co...

The forum settings have now been updated to allow you to attach IBR and IBD ride files to your posts.

Did you get an answer to your question? After a period of a few hours, the ride file is automatically reset in the unit. This is to prevent people from accidentally continuing rides that were completed previously. As you found, the way to see your ride stats, including TSS, IF, and NP, is to downloa...

I'm putting my money on the magnet alignment OR the arm that picks up the speed signal. Inside that arm are two tiny wires that transmit to the body of the GSC. Those may have been compromised. In addition, make sure there is not a 2nd magnet on the wheel that is close enough to trip the speed sens...

Try sending me a couple of ride files and I'll look into it. (tpape at velocomp):
1. The last ride file that you used in the check cal that prompted you for a tilt cal.
2. Go out to your bike, do a tilt cal, ride just long enough to create ride file, and send me that.

Hi Daniel,

You emailed me a ride file before you posted this that I think might shed some light. Look for an email soon.

Travis

I cannot replicate the problem with WKO 3.0 build 48. Is your WKO updated to the latest? If you are still having the issue, post or send me your ride file (tpape at velocomp) and I will take a look.

I have downloaded the new 6.1.0 software on my macbook air but can't open the zip file, I get a massage "i bike for mac 6_1_0 small zip is not a valid labView file" current ibike version is 5.0.8 Maybe the download was incomplete. Did you try downloading again? I will send you an email. T...

OK. I jumped the gun a bit. I read the release notes. I exported the ibr file as a csv file. It imports into WKO+ just fine. One extra step now. Hey guys, note that there is a keyboard shortcut for generating the CSV export: Control-E on Windows and Command-E on Mac. I know it's an extra step but a...

Thanks for additional info on other issues. Here are a couple more: 1. 6.1.0 erased my profiles in the iBike Software - luckily one of my profiles survived on the iBike Pro Unit. 2. The update also wiped out my trainer set up in the software. BTW - There is no way to get the trainer set up from the...

I am out of town this week in the mountains with only sporadic contact with the outside world and without a computer. I will take a look at these issues next week when I am back in the office. I already know that I will need to build a new release for the NaN issue with gps coordinates. Also, keep i...

Hi GWPOS, Looking at these rides, it looks like on-the-road slope_offset algorithm is getting a stiff workout when you descend. Remember that the slope_offset algorithm has a 5 minute reponse time, and since the descents are only about 7 minutes long, they are almost over before the algorithm has a ...

I want to download the ibike software onto an old mac PPC G4 running 10.4.11. I understand from the instructions on the forum the latest version I can download is version 4.02 but where can I find a link to download it? Thanks Andrew http://www.ibikesports.com/iBike_update/iBike_for_PowerPC_4_0_2_I...

If everything is working with communications other than getting the ride list and downloading ride files, it might be that the ride memory in the unit is corrupted. If you really want to get the ride data out of the unit, you can try these: * Do a hard reset on your unit (momentarily install the bat...

Hi geekdoc,

Are you trying to send the ride file to the Training Peaks WKO software or upload it to their web site?

Which iBike unit do you have?

Please upload your CSV file, or you can email to me at tpape at velocomp.

It is the resistance setting.

Good answer from Tom (TriBike). Just to add a couple of things: * Seeing "cal ride" after you do a tilt calibration is normal--you aren't doing anything wrong. Whenever you finish a given item in setup, it always shows you the next but there is no need to do it just because you see it. * R...

GWPOS wrote:Yes it still does it. I just tried again to make sure. I have attatched a Garmin file and the IBike file that goes with it for you to try.

Ok, the bug is squashed for the next release. Also, it won't bother you about adding cadence data when the original data does not contain cadence data.

Travis

I fixed a bug related to this recently. Are you sure it is still a problem?

We just discovered that there was a nasty bug introduced in 6.0.0 for those who do not have cadence data. Customers with cadence data are ok--this only affects those without cadence data, both GenIII and iDash +Power. (I know the ride file you posted above has cadence data, but it must have been acq...

Probably more important, can you tell me why it happened and what steps to take to prevent a re-occurance? I looked at your ride file--the whole file including the portion before your screenshot above--and something very odd happened at the 45 km mark. The altimeter (elevation) reading jumped from ...
