AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I liked the Newton+ too and the uncluttered Display (in daytime anyway). Modern headunits have turn-by-turn notifications, mapping, phone notifications etc. I think they had a choice between trying to compete in a market with giant sized companies or concentrate on what they do best, so I understand...

Incidentally the device calls itself “powerpod” and not “Aeropod”. That wasn’t me being odd. I just hadn’t corrected it when I took the screenshot.

I answered my own question; FB866ACB-D82B-404D-B3B0-4818DCC26402.jpeg The Powerpod appears in the Wahoo App as a source for Power, Speed and Cadence. Even in a non-4 profile it doesn’t bridge heart rate so you still need a Bluetooth heart rate monitor. I haven’t tested on any other devices, like wat...

I forgot to attach screenshot from Wahoo App.

I guess my point is pointless as I didn’t realise the Aeropod transmitted power over Bluetooth to third party apps. I can however confirm that the 4iiii Viiiiva app bridges the Aeropod power data to the Wahoo phone app on iPhone. Bit pointless though if I could have got power direct over Bluetooth. ...

We were writing at the same time: this is what I said: “I can confirm that the Aeropod transmits Ant+ power to the 4iiii Viiiiva which bridges it to Bluetooth as recorded in 4iiii’s own app. My past experience is that the Wahoo app is good at handling multi threaded data connections and so it should...

Found a pack on 5 M5 by 14mm stainless steel security bolts on EBay for £0.99 from China. Hopefully they come with the special bit to tighten it up.

Thanks, I had a thought about the screws for the mount anyway; loctite High strength. People don’t generally carry flamethrowers or paint removers around with them. For the 1 bolt attaching the AP itself I think a combination of a security bolt and medium strength thread locker should be adequate. E...

This is exactly what I have done. I have the Wahoo Tickr X variety of Tickr as the memory is useful for wetsuit swimming. The lack of display is vaguely annoying, but I use an old watch (Ambit 2S). If I exceed the speed limit for motorised traffic it turns the light on as I’ve written a program on i...

I actually mainly do this with swimming but can see no reason it wouldn’t work with cycling (I merge GPS/pace/stroke rate from a Platysens Marlin with HR data from a Wahoo Tickr X that has a memory). Powerhouse App syncs to Strava with no HR data, although it should have Bluetooth HR as even rubbish...

I think I found the answer to this question with trial and error. I only activated the powerhouse app and it sent GPS data to Strava when I asked it. It didn’t send the data to your server and magically appear in Isaac. It seems like both apps need to be running, which is a pity as I thought I’d be ...

I wouldn’t feel safe leaving the AP on the bike whilst swimming & the device has already got a bit scuffed from putting on and off, so I wondered about replacing the screw that holds the device and the two in the device with security screws that no one is likely to have a bit to undo. As there i...

Please go blue for one in future devices. It is at the end of the visual spectrum. Also it activates peripheral vision, whereas red light doesn’t. They obviously designed traffic lights before we knew about visual pigments, but we’ve known for not far off half a century that all of the usual periphe...

I think if may now be sorted. I found an old iBike dual sensor I never installed. Possibly complete coincidence, but I think I did it over lunch. The old sensor was an old Wahoo from 8yrs ago that worked on Newton, Suunto Ambit 2S, 4iiii Sportiiii etc. I performed the test without even the phone in ...

the weird bit at the end is me carrying the bike to the workshop I think.

I switched to using a Suunto Ambit 2S for display. Need to change setting so light stays on though. The first time out i saw it go up to 2W, but then i got the alternating colours. So, i replaced battery in SC and moved a Wahoo Speed Sensor. I think it may have worked, although my previously paired ...

I have a Shimano cm1000 camera. It communicates the mode using combination of different colour LEDs. I don’t think I will ever understand it. I don’t ever change the mode and it just sits on 720p at 60fps. The one thing I would do differently is the selection of LEDs. 5% of the male population is co...

I did this, but possibly made it complicated. I managed to get some time before sunset to ride in the local park on a road. The city is full of traffic and it is otherwise impossible not to draft. I followed the instructions completely up till the pairing. At that point I turned it on and connected ...

Quick Q I can’t find answer to: if the Powerhouse is running is it necessary to also have the VeloTrack App running in the phone’s background? Incidentally, the developers’ version of Golden Cheetah currently Syncs with Strava. As you know it is open source and free. If you need both apps to be runn...

£2.85 is the cheapest I’ve found. One of the pictures shows a little plastic spudger being needed to remove it from a phone.

You are right. I’ve looked at my old Newton+ too. I think it may be the same. I had always assumed it may have been me being stupid that had made it square by putting it in the wrong way. To me actually this is reassuring, if slightly confusing. I actually use magnetic two piece things now for charg...

I think Tririg like between the arms bottle holders, which means two screws somewhere normally. I have a Tririg Sigma Stem and have some Aluminium sheet (cuts relatively easily for even this person with no skills and if you use a vertical and horizontal piece it is stiff). I was going to make into a...

if i already have a profile set in Isaac for my Newton+ how do i get it on the aeropod under a different profile number? Newton+ profiles 1) TT bike with rubbish wheels 2) TT bike with good wheels 3) Fixed Wheel 4) Old bike with panniers I mainly ride the Fixed Wheel, so it makes sense to put that i...

i guess delivery companies are one of the things that vary between countries. there is one called Yodel here. i don't know if they exist abroad, but it is usually just a guy in a beat up old car. I used to think they were worst. anyway, i got a different e-mail update from them. This gave the addres...

And the webform for e-mails limits digits so I can even ask them that way. If you have access to their complaints department please ask: 1) if the package is not suitable for Access Point collection why did their website let me do it? 2) if I had already told them I wasn’t here why did they try and ...

And their phone number is completely automated, so it just repeats what the website says. UPS really suck.

Please don’t ship to the U.K. using UPS anymore. Not only are the admin fees higher for the import taxes, but they are completely useless. Their website let me change to ‘access point’ because I was due to be out, but they tried to deliver it to a house they knew I wasn’t at and left an unintelligib...

Incidentally the development build Of GC syncs to Strava. If you got your software to sync to Strava too there would be an indirect automatic route for people.

From their website:

“From version 3.4 it has been possible for the user to write their own metrics using data filters, as of version 3.5 it is now possible to use Python and R scripts to perform computations as well” - so they should be shareable!

1) Does the phone have capability to connect to Bluetooth Heart Rate monitors and if a Garmin device is connected to a HRM, will it’s file (in the future)contain both CdA and HR data simultaneously? 2) I guess a subquestion is if I record HR data using a HRM with a memory or another separate device...
