AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Four comments: 1) The speed spikes are not a result of gear changes. Why? In each spike bike speed is reduced by 1 mph in one second, then goes back to "normal" in the next one second. These would be HUGE accelerations, not possible. What kind of speed sensor are you using? Where is it mou...

Lots of comments: 1) I looked at the slope correction data for your rides. This data shows the effect of mount rigidity. There is some difference between fork and bar mount rigidity. The fork is more rigid, but at only one point in the bar ride (around 50km) is there a significant shift in calibrati...

Please provide photos showing where your PP is mounted for each configuration. Make sure you say which one is fork, the other bar

Yes, of course!

We are working on a new ConnectIQ app for AeroPod. There are some great new features in it! Beta testing is in progress now; hopefully will be released soon.

Stay tuned...

It's a cheap wireless magnetless speed sensor (accelerometer type) made by CycPlus (China). I have it mounted on the rear hub because I've got a generator hub on the front and the sensor band is too short to go around the hub. I think I might have had interference from the hub as well so I moved it...

Firmware 9.02 improves on-the-road performance of AeroPod/PowerPod if the wind sensor becomes blocked by rain/moisture.

This firmware update is available through Isaac.

Garmin Varia is a rearview radar and tail light and its purpose is to warn by a radar if a car is approaching from behind so I need to know if this message can be sent to my Newton. Newton should receive from Varia a written warning on the screen or an acoustic advice when a car is near me. Please ...

Good news: you have the CdA key installed, so as long as you do not have a DFPM paired to your Newton, your Newton will transmit its power information to your Varia.

Make sure your Newton is awake and paired to your ANT+ sensors, then pair your Newton to your Varia.

The serial number in your screen shot is difficult to read. Please type it in this thread.

Also, go to "Device/Unlock Feature/Get Unlock Status" and take a screen shot of the features enabled in your unit.

I'd like to know if there is compatibility between Newton +6 and Garmin Varia, and if the answer is yes how can I pair the two devices? On the 12th December a car hitted me from behind and I reported a lot of injuries and 2 broken ribs, broken left scapula so I want to be warned if a car approaches...

:D What's in the "CSV export copies" sub-folder of the folder to which your .ibr files are downloaded ? A complete csv file with all your ride file data. Use the export csv function to create the file, then open it in Excel to see what it includes :-) That was my point for the OP - my sub-...

Here's a recent ride file with the PP V1 mounted on the fork. I looked at your ride file. The only bothersome thing I see are periodic speed sensor dropouts, which will cause power dropouts. What kind of speed sensor are you using, and where is it mounted? I don't see any evidence that your shock s...

Please post a .ibr ride file from your current setup

Your 12/18 ride file looks OK, but the new calibration is a bit low. In fact, I applied your prior calibration factor and got great results.

Corrected ride file is attached, along with your prior profile, which I suggest you load into your unit.

Thanks,

I don't know what format TP requires. .ibr files can be exported as csv file, but only one at a time.

Garmin's CdA working group died. Don't know why.

We are working on a new AP app for Garmin. Stay tuned...

Wahoo is aware of the opportunity to add CdA.

Thanks!

Your earlier ride files look normal.

Your recent file suggests a partially blocked wind sensor. Make sure it is clear, then do another short ride; please post the results.

Please post a ride file where you were getting good results.

It looks like your wind sensor is becoming blocked by moisture around mile 10 Screen Shot 2022-12-04 at 8.25.12 AM.png If you ride regularly in rainy conditions you should use a pitot tube. In Isaac you can repair this problem: Screen Shot 2022-12-04 at 8.26.00 AM.png Highlight the area of blocked w...

Hi John, What I want to do is view data from a gpx/fit or tcx file that has been created by the smart trainer in Isaac as a new ride so that I can view it in the same format as a "Powerpod" ride with the same graphs and data analysis. I'm guesing the files, whilst having the same file ext...

I'm not sure what you want to merge...

If your trainer can export a gpx file, then the gpx file can be merged into Isaac with this command. But, I don't know what info your gpx file has, and if that data will be read by Isaac.

Riding for 2 hours in a hard rain is indeed a severe test... If you should happen to do this again, after the ride look carefully at the pitot tube, and also the ambient pressure port beneath. It will be interesting to see which, or both, ports clogged. Also, please post the ride file from today's r...

It looks like your wind sensor may have a problem. Please email technicalsupport@velocomp.com for next steps.

These are questions which we have been answering for 18 years now. :-) 1. During PowerPod setup you'll enter height/weight/ride position/road type and tire type/pressure. From these inputs PowerPod estimates your CdA and Crr (aero drag and road resistance). How good are those estimates? We have 18 y...

Your first ride looks OK, though your wind sensor calibration might be a bit low. I would do a new cal ride soon. Your rain ride definitely showed a blocked wind sensor, starting around mile 5.

Your PPV4 transmits power, wind and slope information to the AeroPod CdA app. CdA and time advantage are held constant. If you have a DFPM, you can use the optional CdA wind tunnel key to unlock continuous measurement of CdA. You then pair your DFPM to your upgraded PP, and the AeroPod CdA app will ...

Apple has released macOS 13, Ventura. We previously confirmed that Isaac/Mac is compatible with Intel Macs running macOS 12.x and prior. Assuming that you have an Intel with Isaac/Mac working with macOS 12.x, we have confirmed that macOS 13 will work with Isaac/Mac. We have also confirmed that Paral...
