AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Great, thanks John. I'll keep the tweaking to a minimum. I should have mentioned I've adjusted the elevation using the method you show but was wondering if there was a more "permanent" fix. I suppose if pressure changes regularly with weather then that's not meaningfully possible, but it m...

Two questions: First, I've noticed that my elevation values always show I am about 40-50 m below sea level. They should be 30-65 m above. Is there any way to fix this discrepancy? I understand that absolute elevation does not affect power ratings and values are in part a function of changes in weath...

I too notice this. It's mostly flat where I live so this isn't much of an issue. I don't believe there is anything you can do for this. For what it's worth, I had the same result whether I paired the cadence sensor or not to the PP.

I’m getting a similar issue with my set up: Powerpod V2 Garmin 1030 Garmin Cadence Sensor 2 When the PowerPod is on the cadence dropped to about 61 or 62 every 10 second or so. It stays at normal levels 85-95 if the PowerPod is off. All are latest firmware. I’ve changed the cadence sensor for anoth...

I recalibrated and did another ride. I wanted to give the cadence another last shot just in case is was a weird pairing/setup. I deleted all sensors from my Garmin and reset my powerpod to remove all profiles/data in Isaac then deleted and reinstalled Isaac. I removed and replaced the batteries in t...

Update - Nevermind - I needed to delete the National Instruments program as well, now it cleared everything! Original: I've been having issues with pairing my PP and cadence sensor. I'm trying to reset my profiles to remove all sensors and restart, but I can't seem to do this. I've wiped all data fr...

I see two problems: 1) your 1604 "no cadence" ride shows a paired cadence sensor in its profile (the same cadence sensor ID as in your "paired cadence sensor" profile). Screen Shot 2020-02-23 at 11.13.55 AM.png So, when you did your no-cadence pairing, your cadence sensor was on...

Please do the following: 1) In your Garmin setup, delete PowerPod as a power sensor. 2) Awaken your speed sensor only . Do NOT awaken your cadence sensor. 3) Confirm with your Garmin that your speed sensor is awake but that your cadence sensor is asleep. 4) Pair PowerPod to your speed sensor (press...

Just checking: after you turned off your cadence sensor, did you do a new pairing to your PowerPod? A new pairing would remove any memory the PowerPod had of your cadence sensor. If you did not take this step then you should do a new pairing between PowerPod and your speed sensor, making sure your ...

In case you do not have the link to the Update Page for the Edge 530 Firmware: https://www8.garmin.com/support/download_details.jsp?id=14953 They are presently listing a beta version of 5.28. It looks like 5.24 was the most recent previous version. What Garmin does do conveniently is to add the pre...

Just curious - I see you also have Garmin Sensors - There are LEDs that will flash right after they wake up for a short time. If you do not see the flashing, the issue could be batteries... I have the Garmin sensors (version 2) and the speed sensor is recommended to be mounted on the front wheel, n...

Hi John, I can't really turn off the cadence sensor as far as I know - it seems to auto-activate when spun and auto-shut-off. I just spun the back wheel (where the speed sensor is) until the speed sensor light turned on, avoiding moving the crank so the cadence sensor remained off/asleep. I did not ...

Our products are certified compatible by ANT+ (Garmin). In other words...we are sending the data in accordance with the ANT spec. Why the 530 is having problems I cannot say. The only thing I can suggest is that you pair PowerPod to your speed sensor, with your cadence sensor turned OFF, so that Po...

Thanks John I'll give this a try tomorrow when I go for a ride.

I have the powerpod V3 set up to my Garmin 530 edge with individual speed 2 and cadence 2 sensors. Before I set up the powerpod cadence measurements were consistent. However, when I use the powerpod cadence measurements keep dropping from 85-90 to 60-65 every minute or two for 5-10 seconds. I've att...

Mine came with both the thumb screw and the hex screw apparently. I'll switch to the hex one, easier tightening. I've been using my desktop computer to offload data and charge, but I do have a laptop so that might be easier. I'll use a spare phone charger with a longer cable to charge the pod on the...

Thanks. I used the screwdriver today less fearfully and it's pretty firm - didn't budge on my ride thank goodness. I might look for a better screw to use, the allen key option is a good idea. Otherwise the power readings looked pretty good.

My question is: how easy should it be to tilt the pod on the mount after hand-tightening the black knob? Because unless I use a screwdriver to tighten it further, it takes only mild effort to tilt the pod. I'm concerned bumps will cause it to move while riding. Although mostly smooth asphalt, there ...
