Battery / charge issue

I got my PowerPod Lite (upgraded via software) and I think I've got the latest firmware. The last 2 weeks the unit has been performing very weird where it loses connection to my computer (garming edge 520+).

Idle - power off time?

Just wanted to know, how long will the PowerPod will remain in idle position before powering off? The reason is that normally our club rides some semi-long rides (from 60 to 120 KM). Most of the rides include a stopover for coffee or just a break. sometimes these stops are brief but most of the time...

Updating profile

Hello, this might be an obvious question/answer but just want to make sure before I mess up my current profile. Over the last 2 months, I've lost 20 pounds of weight, so I'm going to update my profile, my question is, this will need to do a recalibration ride, correct? I have a race on Sunday and wa...

Re: Test firmware for power measurement at low speed

John, finally I changed the new sensor, made a new calibration ride and a long split ride yesterday. The beta firmware seems to be working well. I tried to do a very slow climb, hopefully, I hit the threshold so you can evaluate the data.. By the way, when connected the PP to the Isaac software and ...

Re: Test firmware for power measurement at low speed

Hey John and gang... I uploaded the new beta FW and rode my bike for about 80Km in 2 segments (one from home to my LBS and then the propper ride) I thought to share the files for you experts to analyze and see if they would behave as intended. My remarks are that this FW seems to be more responsive ...

Re: Test firmware for power measurement at low speed

John, I'm in for the testing. I have the file, but a doubt emerged? When installing this new FW, will I need to recalibrate sensors? or if I just set my profile with the backup, PPod would just work? I ask because right now I have cadence and speed sensors that are independent (Melian) but I'm upgra...
