AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I'm using my aeropod in profile 4 with a Garmin watch. It doesn't support the Aeropod 2.0 app, so I'm using the older one. But then I wonder if I even need the app installed? If I'm just interested in collecting data, is it enough if I just pair my watch with aeropod, start the ride on the watch and...

I'm curious about the kind of precision other users are seeing in their CdA testing. I've read of +-0.002 in a couple of places in this forum, but haven't seen the data that goes with it - I'm more interested in understanding all the different parameters that went with such precision. The best I'm s...

Thank you!

Right now the only way to select multiple laps in VA, to analyze them together, is to use the shift-key and select consecutive laps. But this grouping is not possible for a variety of common scenarios, like: Out-back testing, where the "test" lap is every other lap (so not consecutive) Mix...

^ In addition to that, I just noticed that the power graph shown in the .ibr file fetched from the device is different from when I import power into VA from my bike computer's .fit file. The latter has much less fluctuation. I wonder if this is contributing to some issues? Here are two screenshots c...

Hi John, I have some more results from today's test, and there are a few questions I'm hoping to get your input on. I did a lot of runs today, I tested four different configurations, I'll call them A, B, C, D. Wrt that, the relevant lap numbers in my file are: A: 10, 13, 14 B: 16, 18, 20, 22, 24 A: ...

Hi John,

Any update on the compatibility with Edge 130 (or plus) or with the Forerunner series?

Hi John, I did some more testing today, a new short 3-min loop, pretty much all flat. The CdA values look pretty consistent (in the attached file, my testing laps were 6, 8, 12, 14, 16, and 18), but I was checking the elevation tab, since you mentioned that being a source of error last time, and I n...

Hi John, Thanks for pointing that out. Quick question: Is it ok if the stop point is on the other side of the road as the start point, as long as they are both at the same level/elevation? On my bike-path test route, this seems irrelevant, since it's a narrow path and I pass by the same start point ...

Hi John, Thanks a lot for the detailed feedback, much appreciated. A few follow-up comments: At this stage, I'm just trying to understand the variability I could get when I ride a given course in a given position. So, when I actually test out changes, I'd have an estimate for variance and margin of ...

Hello! I got my aeropod recently, and I put it to test yesterday and today. During and post calibration, I noticed the watts stayed at 0. I later realized that it is sending them through another channel, and when I added that as a new sensor in my Garmin, the watts started showing as expected (i.e 0...
