AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hi all Thanks for the add, so I have managed to pick up a brand new old stock v3 PowerPod which I am keen to get up and running when I receive it. In the meantime I have done some research on YouTube and noted that the advice is to pair sensors such as heart rate and speed/cadence etc then turn on ...

Correct

Sorry, I should have been more clear around what I meant by status, which includes the connected sensors, but also all of the other potential status options noted in the manual. aeropodstatus.png Right now I carry a printout of the PDF with me, and use it like a decoder ring to try to suss out what...

Would it be possible to have the new app provide status information for the connected sensors? I find that LED can be hard to see in some situations. Any chance you've been able to have a look at this? It would greatly improve the usability of the device if the status was available somewhere easy t...

Dear Velocomp team, RESPONSES BELOW IN CAPS I have just reactivated my AeroPod to do aero tests for time trialing, but lack some understanding as to how the new Aero Windows app deals with the data. I will try to summarize how I understand the data processing at the moment - maybe there is already ...

I merged your FIT file into your AP file. Lots of comments: 1) Your test route has a sharp "elbow" in it. This is not good for testing: Screenshot 2024-07.png A test route should either a straight out-and back (such as the horizontal portion only of your test route): Screenshot 2024-07-13 ...

Do you have a .FIT file from your Garmin from this ride? If so please post it; it will help me understand the test route you are riding.

I can follow that, which link are you referencing ? The one in the velo aero instructions .

I got into the same trouble when I tried to install the drivers on my Win machine. I did not see the "install" option. Here is what to do: 1) Delete the SiLabs driver file you downloaded 2) Download the driver file again from this link: http://www.velocompforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=106&...

Apparently 4 times is a charm. So it is now connected to VA. Weirdly 49% of memory is used but none of my rides for the past 2 years is on the device.. Either way. I guess I will have to do a cal ride now according to the on-screen instructions. Is that correct? You can't run Isaac and VA at the sa...

I am now able to connect to the device using Device>Connect>Dropdown to usb port. There is confirmation message saying that the device is connected, but the USB icon does not turn green and the only ride shown is the demo DO you have any advice or thoughts on how to solve this problem There is no &...

I've just tried it on my windows 11 machine and it restarted and all looked fine, but subsequently restarting it, allows it to start up, but instead of getting a window I just get a taskbar icon, clicking on that you get the mini preview window but no way to restore the window to see it's contents....

The problem is on the Windows side...we are looking into it now.

Update 0.33 is now available...should work on Windows side too.

Hi I have manged to get VA working on my machine with version 0.0.31 however it immediately downloads and installs version 0.0.32 which appears to have a fault, so when I start it up I get a spinning wait cursor for a few seconds, it returns to normal and VA 0.0.32 fails to start. I have had a look...

Thanks for the update...it may be that SiLabs has updated their driver from the version you had with Isaac.

How do I get the new FW10? Isaac says that my FW9.02 is the most recent firmware.
Is it mandatory to switch to the new Velocomp Aero software?

Yes, FW10 is available through VA software only. You can still use Isaac with FW10 if you wish, however.

We have been doing pretty regular updates of Velocomp Aero (VA) software. If you've installed VA then you should see update information appear automatically when you have the app opened, or when you launch the app. You can find details of updates in the "Show Change Log" link available fro...

Thank you for your reply. Agreed, we need to indeed be a bit more balanced. Thank you also for verifying the attached ride file and making an adjustment. Will load your modified file into my unit. Just one (perhaps naive) question - how exactly do I "load" that .ibp file into my PP? Is th...

Hello Today I upgraded my PowerPod to version 10 of the software. I then did a calibration ride, followed by a short ride. Here is my ride file. I am riding a FatBike. Velocomp_2024_06_05_1500_6_km.ibr The values all seem good - the wind is from both directions. But on the PowerStoke screen, there ...

@Velocomp/John Hamann 1) VA is a new app. I understand (a bit) your frustration with the different interface; I spent about 30 minutes trying to find standard items in Windows 11 the first time I used it. If you had problems installing VA/Win I'd like to know more, so that we can improve. 2) I did ...

I dowloaded the new Velocomp Aero app. Installed version 10 or the firmware onto my PP - there happened to be two dialogs showing that the firmware could be installed - so I ran both -I think they both were doing the same thing. The interface has been cleaned up a bit and a few more little details ...

Hi, Downloaded the new Velocomp Aero software/app as well as the updated firmware as suggested. Will see how my device responds on my next ride outside. Q/ Why is the firmware update (from 9.02 to 10 prompt hidden in a small box in right hand lower corer of thee app - instead of the normal position...

I looked at your ride files. Yes, there is a crazy problem in your 6/2 ride, but nothing in the raw data shows any problem with your sensor readings. There is some mysterious bug in your firmware... My suggestion is to download new FW 10, available when you use the new Velocomp Aero app. This FW wil...

Yesterday I did two calibration rides. The one at 11.05 was an out and back ride riding a long curve. The second ride at 11.13 was a straight line out and back ride. When using the check calibration function on the first ride it suggests the power is too the high. Whereas when analyzing the second ...

Please forward your email to me and I will find out what is going on. jhamann@velocomp.com

AeroPod2 is a new product, marrying the proven sensor design of the AeroPod with new Firmware10 as its computational "engine", and new Velocomp Aero app for Mac/PC that provides simpler, more accurate, and more consistent CdA measurements. NOTE: any existing AeroPod owner can upgrade their...

Velocomp Aero (VA) software for Mac/Windows is completely new. VA has a look and feel similar to Isaac, (so it's easy to learn) but it is much faster to operate, easier to use, and provides much better analytical capabilities for CdA. Here is a link where you can download VA for Mac: http://www.velo...
