Re: Intel and M1/M2 Mac users: how to install Isaac/Mac on your computer

I do have an issue, not with the software's installation or running. If I maximise the window everything turns upside down. This seems to be an issue with Labview (and programs written in Labview, such as Isaac). As far as I can tell, it's not actually zooming that does it - it's hovering the mouse...

Re: New AeroPod/PowerPod CdA app for Garmin devices

please note that there is a newer version of AeroPod app available, AeroPod 2.0, that adds a lot of good features. I've seen it, and while it looks great, its actually going in the wrong direction vs what I actually want; I want to be able to include wind speed and slope on the same page as a bunch...

Re: New AeroPod/PowerPod CdA app for Garmin devices

Using our original app as a foundation, Oleksiy made the new AeroPod CdA app on his own time Is the source code to the original app available somewhere? Or the specs needed to write such an app? I have my own full screen datafield, and currently I have to have PowerPod CdA on one page, and my dataf...

Re: Problem with a PowerPod v5

Your ride file was fine, so this is some kind of error in the .FIT file Well yes, in a way. But the Aeropod CdA data field froze during the ride. I had to reboot my Garmin Edge to get it working again. Since its that data field providing the values to Garmin, when it froze, it stopped updating the ...

Re: Problem with a PowerPod v5

Each profile has a customized setting for wheel circumference. If you are using two different bikes you should create a separate profile for each bike Yes, that's exactly what I've done. And as I said, the downloaded files do contain the correct profiles, and once opened they show the correct dista...

Re: Problem with a PowerPod v5

Incidentally, I initially got the powerpod for my long stride Elliptigo (20 inch wheels), and recently started using it with my Elliptigo RSUB (28 inch wheels). Now when I download rides, the distances in the titles of the rides seem to be randomly longer or shorter than the actual ride (eg see my p...

Re: Problem with a PowerPod v5

I initially thought it happened again, but this is something different. I noticed (as before) that slope and wind speed (as reported by the AeroPod CdA data field for Garmin) had stopped updating. But this time, power was still being reported. After finishing the ride, and uploading to garmin, I cou...

Problem with a PowerPod v5

I've been using my powerpod for a few weeks now. Yesterday, I went out for a ride, and after about 20 miles, I noticed that power (reported on my Garmin Edge) dropped to zero. At the same time the "wind" and "slope" fields stopped updating, and didn't change again for the duratio...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

On yesterday's ride I noticed I could still get some very high readings when pedaling down hill (although only 3-400W, rather than over 1000W), so I've dropped the CdA to 5.55. Today's ride looked fine, but was easy and flat. The next serious ride with hills will be Saturday. But I'm pretty confiden...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

I will definitely post my findings in the Facebook elliptigo group once I feel like I've got things setup well. I've done another ride. I did tweak your profile slightly, increasing Crr to .0081, because that's what Isaac tells me for touring tires, 80psi, 20" diameter. Things mostly look good ...

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

Great, thanks!

After sending that profile to the device, should I do a new calibration ride? Or is it good to go?

Re: PowerPod w/ ElliptiGo long-stride bike

I've also just started using a PowerPod v5 with an Elliptigo. Would appreciate any help configuring it. I initially tried setting it up through Isaac, giving the correct wheel circumference as suggested. The results were clearly off, but at the time I was on vacation, and only had a Mac, and althoug...
