AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

And as to CdA, I'm 5'6" 143 lb and inputted that into the current setup so that's where the CdA comes from.

Pressed PP button this morning for 4 sec to force a re-scan for sensors and it did that I saw flashing green then green and red alternating which I knew meant I was forced to do an out and back cal ride. Did that, and for whatever reason even though PP has been doing 1 sec intervals and is set up to...

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...

What should the CdA be and is it measured by the Out and Back?

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

Looks like cadence wasn't recorded -- no idea why. Cadence meter is on and has been working fine.

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...

When I am connected to Garmin Edge 1030, I see the PP but it says battery level unavailable. So I was surprised to see John posting that it was available in Garmin. Am I looking in the wrong place??

Thanks,

Jim

Thanks so much. Will try next ride.

I am also getting no power stroke data despite having upgraded PP to Powerstroke. Here's the data from Unlock status: Screen Shot 2023-10-02 at 4.19.30 PM.png And here's today's ride file (after doing the PStroke unlock last night Velocomp_10_02_2023_1520_13_Miles.ibr What's my best course of action...

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.

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,

Jim

Thanks John. Here's my Mac info: Model Name: iMac Model Identifier: iMac13,1 Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Core i5 Processor Speed: 2.9 GHz So definitely Intel iMac 2012 vintage on Catalina. System Version: macOS 10.15.7 (19H2026) Let me know your suggested approach and thanks again as always for ...

I believe I have a PP V3 which still works great. I haven't tried downloading for a while since I have a MacBook Pro with Ventura and Isaac doesn't work on that. Now back home on iMac Catalina and connects with the PP but when I hit Download Ride Data it goes through checking ride files but does not...

Switching from Garmin to Wahoo speed sensor on rear wheel because the Garmin one keeps losing connection with system. Do I need to force a new Cal Ride, set up a new profile?? What do you recommend??

Jim PP user since the beginning!!

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

Had to press and hold 4 sec twice then started flashing red green. Then pressed again and voila turned yellow. First time nothing then finally took and did cal ride now all good. I think what happened (and did so once before in similar setting) is that I was on a group ride with ten others, and stop...

Right. Will do, but for this weekend I’m without Isaac since only a new Mac with no usb adapter. I tried to do the cal ride but no numbers came up despite it flashing yellow. I wonder if it’s toast?

Have done, and then it goes green and red alternating and no power readings. Second press goes yellow flashing but will not do cal ride either.

PP3 died mid ride. Had been working flawlessly for three years, and midway through epic 73 mi ride just started disconnecting and reconnecting to Garmin reporting ~ 30 sec of 0 power each time and flashing red/green. No button pushes would turn it off and after getting sick of hearing all the beeps ...

Just want to say that you guys have gone the distance!! The new software is faster than the old and works perfectly thus far. Faster DL from the device with Powerstroke enabled as well. I was glad to pay the 20 bucks for the upgrade.

Cheers and thanks for the work,

Jim

Just want to give you guys a big high five on all this. You are a small company with a great and inexpensive product that really works. Oh and it actually looks cool now, just saying!

Looking forward to 64 bit Isaac!

Cheers

Just want to add my voice in thanking you for working on the Catalina compatible Mac Isaac software. Isaac is really useful and many of us dedicated Ppod users have been using it for years especially to fine-tune and choose profiles on different bikes - a big plus of the Ppod system. So Big Thanks!!...

In previous Powerpods (FW 4.26 on) I have always been able to turn off the device with 5 clicks and then the light goes to flashing red then quickly turns off. Now the new device goes from flashing red to off, but the device is still transmitting to my Garmin. What to do????

Appreciate the response John. Actually the unit was totally charged (anxious about not being charged for the big ride) and no drafting and no obstruction. (Don't mean to sound like an orange haired political figure). But how do you explain the second bump to over a thousand watts? Seems really weird...

Any love from or comment from Velocomp here would be greatly appreciated. Here are the ride files where the PP went nuts and initially showed way too high numbers then ended up with numbers that were really really low for the effort I put in (should have been about a 140-145W average). And the date ...

When PP is moved from one bike to another, which it has previously been paired with, does it default to a new scan for sensors and force an O&B cal, or does it just recognize the previously st up bike and go to that profile and we’re good to go?

Same behavior here. After having PP working for the last 6 months with some flaky readings now and then, I’ve calibrated it on two bikes and it seemed to do as advertised, sensing the second bike automatically. Then one fine morning, as I’m about to do my epic 70 miler, no readings at all, despite h...

Thanks so much for the update and the work!
