AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

If you run Linux, never fear. There's two ways you can get this working: either use VirtualBox (easy) or a tool I'm working on (hard and very incomplete). Disclaimer: What works for me might not work for you, and neither will get you support from Velocomp. VirtualBox The easiest way is to use Virtua...

Just to be close off this discussion, I sent my PowerPod off and it's been replaced with a PowerPod with working barometer (I assume a new one unless it also had the scratches on the bracket repaired!). Now my elevation traces look like those from my actual GPS device! Power seems a bit low; I just ...

OK, I've mailed them. Thanks for your prompt response.

Messing around the settings, the software seems to want me to use a "riding tilt" of 3.2% but when I press send, it tells me this is out of range. Looking closer at the mounting, I see the "PowerPod" text was pointed a little upwards -- I suspect I aligned it while the bike was o...

Right, I removed the combined sensor so I'm surely synced to the magnetless ones now (unless the PowerPod picked up my PowerTap's power profile). I still got a crazy elevation plot. Attached is a .ZIP of the initial calibration, the rest of the out-and-back, the Isaac combined file of both of those ...

You have a fair number of sensor dropouts on your ride file. This is likely the source of your elevation problems... How do I spot sensor dropouts? The messy speed is caused mostly by me cycling in London and having to stop every few minutes at traffic lights. The clean section in The Regents Park ...

I noticed some stuff about 'tilt cal', so I've reset all of the profiles on the device. I will do a ride tomorrow and recalibrate. I've moved it around the bike a fair amount, so it's possible it's calibrated to an incorrect tilt and remembered as such. I also noticed it has the wrong weight (my bik...

Hi! I've had my PowerPod a few months, though I only started using it properly recently (I broke my arm). I bought it mostly for wind recording and to try to get power numbers from London cycle hire bikes; I already have a DFPM (a PowerTap Pro upgraded to a PowerTap G3). Comparing the power numbers ...
