AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hi everyone, for the past few weeks my Powerpod has been giving significantly lower wattage readings on inclines. Recalibrating and switching to a different profile haven't fixed it. It's as if the incline sensors aren't registering that I'm going uphill. What can I do? Please post a .ibr ride file...

Here is a ride from this morning on which I put a wind calibrated profile. At the first 10 k the power was all over, after that the PP I believe self calibrated or did something as the power started to look better. Still wind from only back. Strangely enough, after downloading the ride, Velocomp Ae...

Please post a .ibr ride file from your unit.

Oleksiy

Hello Oleksiy. I would like to contact you. Please send me a message. Thanks. Patrick

You should be using the new ConnectIQ app "Velocomp". The app written by Oleksiy is no longer supported.

Oleski, It seems the frozen screen in your app is mainly related to the varia radar, when the radar get disconnected (maybe one or twice in a 50 miles ride) then the field where the CdA app is on get frozen, the rest is OK. Disconnection of the radar is reported and known and it is a problem. The p...

John - I noticed that if you have the data for this IQ app displayed while running a calibration, the display gives directions about the out and back, reminding to stop at 50% and turn around. During that time the display does not show the wind/slope and so on. There also appears to be a thin bar a...

Looks good!

Dear John, I can't figure out how to adjust the PowerPod numbers to fit my Favero Assioma Pro RS-2 numbers. If I try to align wind and ground speed things just seem to get worse. What would your approach be? I miss a comprehensive user manual for VA as you had for Isaac.... This cal ride was done i...

Only after updating Aero to 1.0.41 I could see the update to FW 11 - wanted to say something else, for the first time, after a ride, Aero reported there was no ride to save from the device - power was recorded on my Garmin device though. I hope it was a one of only, I will keep you posted in case t...

Launch Velocomp Aero. You may see a message stating that VA update is available; if so, update VA to version 1.0.40. Do NOT attempt any firmware upgrade until you have installed VA 1.0.40 After updating VA you can confirm that you have version 1.0.40 by using "About Velocomp Aero" You shou...

IF YOU SEE A MESSAGE IN VELOCOMP AERO SAYING NEW FIRMWARE IS AVAILABLE, DO NOT UPDATE THE FW!!! INSTEAD, QUIT VELOCOMP AERO AND THEN RELAUNCH VELOCOMP AERO, BEFORE STARTING ANY FIRMWARE UPDATE AFTER RESTARTING VA, IF YOU SEE A MESSAGE SAYING A NEW VERSION OF VELOCOMP AERO IS AVAILABLE, DO THE VELOC...

Is it possible to "configure" the fields? Like selecting each one in on-off mode...for example, power yes, cda no, slope yes , wind no. Also the font size, as actually the fonts are "small" inside each field... a lot of space unused. thanks Not in this version...maybe in the fut...

We are releasing a new version of Velocomp Aero for Mac/PC, which enables installation of new FW 11 on most PP and all AP. FW11031126.pdf FW 11 and VA enable complete wireless operation of your PP/AP with your computer... and your phone or iPad too, if you have Velocomp Wireless installed on your iO...

Here is an article I wrote that was recently published in Bike-EU, an important publication concentrating on eBike developments.

I will be interested to read your comments...

Isaac Mac/PC is no longer supported. Firmware updates are not available from Isaac, and GPS functionality is no longer available.

Velocomp Aero for Mac/PC has replaced Isaac, and is available here:

ok, very clear. how is the procedure to send this new setup to the AP? By the way, is there any place to download the Newton Tracker app? thanks 1) Connect your PP to VA 2) Do the procedure above to correct your wind scaling 3) After correcting the ride file, go to Edit/Edit Profiles/Extract from R...

Here's how to tweak things: 1) You are doing closed loop laps, so adjusting your wind factor is acceptable. If the file isn't for closed loops, then adjustment is risky 2) Your unadjusted file shows watts of 156.6. and a wind scaling balance of 1.0--this means your wind readings are slightly high, l...

If I am using a PP, but all options are unlocked and I am also using a DFPM - does the new IQ app enable the details as if it were an AP?

Thanks,

Tom

I think so; if the app detects a DFPM then it shows the AP screen

Version 1.0.1 of Velocomp has been released, improving the cal ride support and to add "power" to the AeroPod screen.

Hi, height 175cms weight 70kg Bike TT (the AP is under the extension bar as ever since.. years) Tell me the next step to do please thanks Your CdA is too low. Load this profile into your AP using the command Edit/Edit Profiles/Import. Then, connect your unit to VA and load the profile into your uni...

You used the Velocomp app calibration correctly! It won't show data during the calibration process...

I looked at your ride file. You have an extremely low CdA. Are you riding a TT bike? If so, how tall are you?

If you aren't riding a TT bike, then what kind of bike do you have?

We have just posted the new "Velocomp" ConnectIQ app for PowerPod and AeroPod. The Velocomp ConnectIQ app replaces our current AeroPod2.0 and AeroPod CdA apps. The Velocomp app is compatible with an extremely wide variety of Garmin devices. It is designed for PowerPod and AeroPod products ...

Hi John, i did several rides recently and this is the one for today. The IQ field for the PP stills do weids things when i hit the lap button. It crashed every time.

The registration process for Android phones is the same as used with the iOS version. We are highly confident the Android version will work, but we don't have an Android phone for testing. If you use an Android phone, please follow the setup procedure and let us know that things are working properly...

The (worn out) server for Velocomp GPS Tracker has been replaced. To use the new server you will need to re-register and login to it, just one time, both in Velocomp Aero and in the smartphone GPS app, in order to get GPS stored in your smartphone added to your ride files. Here is how to do it: 1) M...

Download Velocomp Wireless for iOS iPhone/iPad from Apple App Store

This app works with any PowerPod Wireless or AeroPod wireless product

Can the timeout be changed to an hour instead of the 30 minutes or so it is now? I think most of us that stop it's for a quick lunch/coffee break. I've also experienced this and having to remember to turn it back on. While we are on feature requests - a fellow rider yesterday had a great idea - wha...
