Speed Field appears blank

In the regular stats mode I cannot see the speed. That area is just black. Any way to change the font or the background? I assume what is happening is that the background and the font are both black.

Merge GPS data with Velocomp.ibr file

How do I do this?? I have tried the "Get GPS data from Activity file" but when I click that and navigate to an exported .gpx file from Garmin, it is greyed out. Am I missing something??

Re: Velocomp Aero is replacing Isaac

Solved. The instruction to allow system extension to load is a bit unclear. There is an option to say OK or to go to mac system settings. Should clatify that the user MUST go to the allow extension to load at login setting BEFORE hitting OK.

Once i did that — SUCCESS.

New software looks good!

Re: PP Loses all profiles after not charging for 3 months

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll try that. And if I do that and set the previous working profile as active, will I be again forced to do a cal ride or will it "just work," in the words of Steve Jobs?

Re: PP suddenly totally wonky

Looks like cadence wasn't recorded -- no idea why. Cadence meter is on and has been working fine. If cadence isn't recorded then PS won't work. I would check/replace the battery in your cadence sensor. Cadence works fine and is seen on Garmin. Also Heart Rate not seen in PP either. switched HR moni...

It was a loop not an out and back, so I reverted to an older profile for my Cervelo and will try that. If still wonky I'll get back to you. Thanks again, Jim

Re: PP suddenly totally wonky

I neglected to add that although the rides are recorded in HiDef for PStroke, Isaac is not giving me Pstroke readings on these two rides though it has on all my previous rides. Something is gravely wrong. If the device is toast and there is a easy on the wallet path to upgrade as trade in I'd do it!...

Did a usual ride in Central Park today and PP had not responded at all two weeks ago but I kept it plugged in and rode 12mi 3/15 with normal power curves except for way high at the beginning (850W just for a minute or so) then everything seemed normal. Today in the first 6 mi lap seemed really low a...

Re: battery charge level?

Re: No Rides to download. Do I need to delete all rides?

Memory was full. Deleted all rides and works like a charm. Would be great to have a notification sent to Garmin head unit or a yellow single blip on the device when activating the device for a ride in the condition of a full memory.

Re: No Rides to download. Do I need to delete all rides?

Tried the reset and same thing. Have now erased the ride data and will ride again and see what happens.

A great feature would be some way in Isaac or on the device to let the user know when memory is full.

Cheers,

Or an app interface to allow for similar functionality. Shame that the second half of any group ride should be marred by PP getting confused by other sensors trying to pair with it. And annoying when the head unit bleeps every 30 sec as it gets a brief signal from pp
