Thank you John,
Yep, I checked around under details, and it's listed as a power meter, 10259. So, when it warms up Saturday, ill take it for a ride. My guess is, if it's ID is listed, and I have it set to record at 3sec. it should be indicating power .

Re: Negative Friction detected after check calibration
Dear Velocomp, My PC crashed and I lost all my bikes' profiles. How do I backup my bike's profile using Isaac? I did a new device setup and did some calibrations. Pls verify my ride file. Thanks.

Re: power average vs NP
Ah-hah, I was wondering the same thing too. That's good to know , that Isaac does not include zero power. Makes sense. I have also read, that some other calculations for average power, do , in fact , USE zero power , in average power calc.

Re: Is your PowerPod accurate
A little late to this thread, Yes, spangelsaregreat, I saw that GCN video and went to that wolfgang site, too. My calculations fell 1-3% of the PP data. Pretty impressive. I'm going to dig out those numbers and run them through the site John linked us to.KB.

Re: Ride File Check (@ your convenience)
Hello John,
Yes , that is odd, but that is all , that downloaded out of the PP Lite. My understanding is that only the first 10 mins. are recorded in the PP Lite, but the full ride is in my Garmin. The last 2 digits of those fils, are the actual ride length. KB

Power Pod Lite & Powerstoke
Hello John,
This looks like something I could use, with the purchase of the key, will PS work with PP Lite ? I do use a cadence sensor. And will I need a seperate cadence sensor for each bike profile ?

Solved, some how, issac shows 2 profiles , sharing the same speed sensor ID. Software thinking for itself. Reassigned the correct sensor ID to the correct profile, all is working. Gota love it .

For some reason, my PP won't pair to my Garmin head unit. Speed sensor is paring with head unit, but PP refuses to pair. Nothing has changed, lately. I did a hard reset, but nothing. One press of the button , light flashes green, for some time, then goes out. Press 5 times to turn of and tried again...

Re: Firmware 641 for PowerPod is available
Hello guys, got no response in general discussion, so I'll try here. I upgraded to firmware 641, and the O&B calibration doesn't work. The PP goes into the 1-100 continuous ride. Is this now the standard calibration ride ?
Thanks, ken
