Dropped power, wrong cadence sensor, and wrong display
Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2018 6:28 pm
Where to start?...
Yesterdays ride went as such: Turned on Newton 6, paired HRM, paired Garmin GC-10 speed/cadence, paired DFPM, even though there is no DFPM associated with the bike profile. My buddy has a DFPM, so Newton was picking up that signal. I get that. DFPM was turned off in Edit Profiles/Wireless IDs so I don’t think that should have presented itself as a problem. Hasn’t in the past.
All is going fine, and I noticed that my cadence was 31, when in fact it was around 95. I re-paired, after giving a couple of hundred meters to my friend so it wouldn't pick up his DFPM. Everything paired. Again, weird cadence. Checked profile, correct bike I think. (I wish that was configurable instead of bike 1, 2, 3 or 4. I forget which is which. Although I don't concern myself too much as that can be changed after the ride.)
Then I noticed it wasn't cadence being displayed on the Newton, but calories! I have never had calories as a display field. I also noticed that power was not being displayed either. Re-paired again. Same.
I had a somewhat similar issue with dropped power in the past and made sure the cadence sensor and crank arm magnet where close. They wery close in fact.
What I did find as I was riding is that I would see "Cadence lost" being displayed and then I'd get power readings! Then power would be lost again. This happened continually during the ride. At one point I turned off Newton and re-started. Same problems.
Also, there are 3 files for the ride not one (or maybe 2 for shutting down and restarting). Not a uncorrectable issue, just append the files.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
